Yes, kegging lines 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 £10,000 to £120,000, and most deals are written over 36–72 months with a deposit of around 15–20%. 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.

Check EligibilityA kegging line is a moveable item of plant and normally qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, letting you set the full cost against taxable profits in the year of purchase up to the prevailing AIA limit, which your accountant can confirm. Where the line is plumbed into fixed process pipework as part of a wider brewhouse fit-out, that surrounding installation can be treated differently from the kegging equipment itself for capital allowances, so it's worth getting your accountant to confirm the split. Hire purchase preserves the allowance for the buyer from day one; finance lease and operating lease payments are instead deducted as a revenue expense as they're paid.
Kegging lines are bought by breweries moving from manual filling to a dedicated line as their draught trade with pubs, bars and taprooms grows, since manual filling and cleaning becomes a production bottleneck once keg volumes rise. Because keg stock itself, the metal kegs, represents a significant separate investment, most breweries finance the kegging line to keep cash available for building up a keg fleet and covering duty, rather than committing all their capital to the filling equipment. Upgrading from manual or semi-automatic to fully automatic kegging is generally driven by production volume and the labour cost of manual filling, rather than the existing line failing, and a workable used market exists for established kegging equipment, supporting asset-backed finance for growing breweries.
