Spread the cost of marquees and clearspan structures from £8,000 to £250,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, marquees 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 £250,000, and most deals are written over 24–72 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.

Marquees qualify for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the qualifying cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase. Because a marquee is a demountable structure rather than a permanent building, it is normally treated as plant and equipment for capital allowances purposes, not as property. HP allows you to claim capital allowances directly; finance lease payments are generally deductible against profits instead.
Marquees are bought mainly by event hire companies and wedding or festival specialists adding capacity to a fleet, rather than by a single end user buying one structure for one occasion. Because income is concentrated in the UK event season running roughly from April to September, lenders assessing a marquee purchase tend to look at several years of seasonal trading pattern rather than judging the business on a quiet winter quarter. A marquee earns its keep across many separate bookings, so it is the rate at which a structure goes back out on hire, not any single event, that services the finance. Being demountable rather than fixed is also what keeps a marquee financeable as equipment in the first place, distinguishing it from a permanent building. There is a steady trade market in used framed and clearspan structures as operators upgrade their range.
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.
