Can you finance a injection moulder?

Yes, injection moulders 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 £25,000 to £800,000, and most deals are written over 24–84 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

What buyers actually specify

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.

Tax benefits

This equipment qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, so a purchase or HP agreement can be deducted against taxable profit in the year of purchase. Finance lease payments are typically deductible in full from profit as they are paid, and refinancing an owned asset does not change its capital allowances position.

Market context

Injection moulders are bought by contract moulders and manufacturers bringing a part in-house, usually against a specific customer job rather than speculatively. The press itself is often not the largest cost on the order: the tool built to make that part can cost as much as or more than the machine, and because a tool is cut for one customer’s part it has little to no resale value once that job ends, which is why lenders assess tooling very differently from the press. Most installations also need ancillaries such as a dryer, chiller and granulator, and often a robot take-off, to actually run the job, so buyers commonly finance the press, tooling and ancillaries as separate lines with different terms rather than one bundled figure. Replacement of the press is usually driven by a new part needing more clamping force or more cavities than the existing machine offers; a well-maintained press runs for many years, and there is an active used market from the established European and Japanese builders that supports asset-backed lending.

Bad credit?

Several of our 200+ lenders specialise in businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options exist. Checking your options here does not affect your credit score, because we do not run a credit search to match you. A lender will run their own checks only if you decide to apply.

Frequently asked questions

Can the mould tooling be financed alongside the press?
Tooling is usually financed separately from the press, and some lenders will not fund it at all. A mould tool is cut for one customer’s specific part, so once that contract ends the tool has no resale value to fall back on if the deal goes wrong, unlike the press itself which can be re-sold into the wider used market. Where a lender does include tooling, expect a shorter term matched to the length of the customer contract, a larger deposit, and the loan structured against the press as the primary security rather than the tool.
Do I need to finance the dryer, chiller and granulator at the same time as the press?
Not necessarily, but most buyers do because the press cannot run the job without them. A hygroscopic material needs drying before moulding, the mould needs a chiller to hold cycle time, and sprues and rejects need granulating to be reused. Lenders will often put the press and its ancillaries on one HP or lease agreement with a single monthly payment, which is simpler to administer than separate agreements, though you can finance them individually if you already own some of the ancillaries.
Can I finance a used injection moulder?
Yes. Most lenders will finance used presses up to around 15 years old from established builders such as Arburg, Engel and Sumitomo Demag, since parts and service support remain available and there is a liquid resale market. An independent valuation is usually required for machines over 10 years old or when the press is being used as security for a larger tooling package. Rates for used presses are typically slightly higher than new.
What deposit is typical for injection moulder finance?
For hire purchase, most lenders ask for 10-20% deposit on the press. Finance leases and operating leases often require no deposit. Where tooling is included in the same facility, lenders commonly ask for a higher deposit against the tooling portion specifically, reflecting its lack of resale value, while the press portion is treated on standard terms. Deposit levels also depend on trading history and whether the deal is backed by a confirmed customer order, with a longer, more established order book sometimes reducing the deposit a lender asks for on the press itself.
How quickly can injection moulder finance be approved?
Straightforward deals under £150,000 for a single press are often approved within 24-48 hours. Deals that bundle the press with tooling and multiple ancillaries take longer, typically 5-10 working days, because the lender needs to review the tooling contract, the ancillary specification and how the whole package is secured. Providing supplier quotes for the press, tooling and each ancillary upfront, rather than a single combined figure, is the single biggest factor in keeping a bundled application moving quickly.
