Spread the cost of a line array from £8,000 to £200,000+ with flexible finance options: HP, lease or refinance.
Yes, line arrays 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 £8,000 to £200,000, and most deals are written over 24–72 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–72 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.

Line arrays qualify for the Annual Investment Allowance, so a purchase or HP agreement can usually be deducted against taxable profit in the year of purchase, and lease payments are deductible in full as they are paid. Show-specific system tuning and rigging labour are typically invoiced as professional services and sit outside the finance agreement.
Line arrays are bought by larger venues installing a fixed house system and by touring and festival production companies building rental stock. A venue finances a line array because stacking multiple cabinets to project sound evenly across a large space is a significant capital cost, and spreading it keeps cash free for the rest of a sound system build. A production company more often finances an array to expand the size of show it can cover, since larger or further-throwing rigs open up bigger venues and festival stages. Line array cabinets from established manufacturers hold their value well and trade actively on the used market, which supports both buying used inventory and refinancing an existing rig to fund the next expansion.
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.
