Can you finance a kegging machine?

Yes, kegging machines 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 £6,000 to £60,000, and most deals are written over 24–60 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Representative example

On a purchase price of £20,000: a 10% deposit of £2,000, then 48 monthly payments of £422 at 5.9% APR representative (fixed). Total amount payable £22,256, including the deposit. The rate you are offered depends on your business and the asset.

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.

Machine or specification Guide price Type
Manual single-head keg filler £6,000 – £10,000 Manual Keg Filler
Semi-automatic keg filler with keg washer £12,000 – £22,000 Semi-Automatic Kegging Unit
Automatic 2-head keg filler-washer line £25,000 – £40,000 Automatic Kegging Line
Automatic multi-head kegging line, high output £42,000 – £60,000 High-Output Kegging Line

Tax benefits

This equipment qualifies as plant and machinery for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) and full expensing, so the cost can be deducted from taxable profits in the year of purchase for a hire purchase agreement. Finance and operating leases are generally treated as an operating expense, with the payments deducted from profits as they fall due rather than claimed as a capital allowance.

Market context

Kegging machines are bought by breweries and cider producers moving beyond hand-filling kegs, typically when growth makes a dedicated washer and filler necessary to keep pace with keg turnaround and to maintain consistent CO2 levels and cleanliness. Financing is common because the equipment spans a wide range from a manual single-head filler through to an automatic multi-head line, and breweries generally scale into higher automation as volume and the number of keg accounts grow. Keg washing and filling heads are the main wear items regardless of the machine's overall age, and a reasonable used market exists through specialist brewery equipment dealers given how many breweries pass through the early stages of this growth curve.

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 I finance a used kegging machine?
Yes, most lenders finance used kegging equipment up to 8 years old. The keg washing and filling heads are the parts under most repeated wear, so a service record covering seals and valves matters more than overall machine age. Kegging equipment from established brewery equipment manufacturers holds value reasonably well given steady demand from growing breweries.
What deposit do I need for a kegging machine?
Hire purchase typically asks for 10–20% deposit. Finance leases and operating leases are usually available with no deposit. Automatic multi-head lines cost considerably more than a manual single-head filler, so the deposit and monthly cost scale with the specific machine and its output.
How quickly can I get kegging machine finance?
Manual and semi-automatic kegging units are usually approved within 24–48 hours, with same-day decisions common under £15,000. Automatic multi-head lines, typically bought as breweries scale beyond a certain volume, may take a little longer while the lender reviews the full specification.
Does keg ownership affect the equipment finance?
No, financing the kegging machine is separate from how you manage keg ownership or a keg deposit scheme with your customers. The finance covers the filling and washing equipment itself; kegs are typically bought, tracked and depreciated separately as their own consumable asset.
