Spread the cost of griddle from £500 to £6,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance;
Yes, griddles are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £500 to £6,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Griddle equipment qualifies for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in year one, up to £1,000,000. HP allows capital allowances. Lease payments are fully deductible against profit.
Griddles sit in almost every café, pub kitchen, and breakfast-led site, and buyers are typically replacing a worn plate or adding capacity as covers grow rather than fitting out a kitchen from scratch. It is one of the simplest and most durable pieces of catering equipment to finance, since a chrome or steel griddle plate has a long working life and straightforward resale value. Most operators finance a griddle only as part of a wider kitchen order, since on its own the ticket size is often small enough to buy outright.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
