Spread the cost of an oxygenation system from £10,000 to £150,000 with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, oxygenation systems 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 £150,000, and most deals are written over 24–84 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 3–5 working days. 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.

Oxygenation and aeration equipment is moveable plant and generally qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting an operator deduct the full cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to £1,000,000, subject to the normal AIA rules. HP gives access to capital allowances directly; lease payments are normally deductible from profits. Where an oxygenation system is installed as a fixed part of a land-based recirculating facility's building and pipework, some elements may be treated as part of the building rather than as freestanding plant, an accountant should confirm the correct treatment before purchase.
Oxygenation systems are bought by finfish farms operating under a site licence from the relevant marine and environmental authorities, and are used to maintain dissolved oxygen levels for stocked fish, particularly at higher stocking densities or during warmer water conditions when natural oxygen levels fall. A site's licence sets the maximum stock it can hold, which is often the real limit on production, while oxygenation capacity is what allows a farm to safely hold stock up to that licensed level without welfare or growth being compromised. Equipment operating in a marine or brackish environment is exposed to a corrosive saltwater environment that shortens working life relative to comparable land-based equipment, and replacement is driven mainly by corrosion of pipework, valves and sensors rather than a fixed age. A limited used market exists, mostly through equipment removed during a site capacity upgrade.
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.
