Yes, padel courts 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 £45,000 to £150,000, and most deals are written over 24–84 months with a deposit of around 15–25%. 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.

Check EligibilityThe court's steel and glass structure and its groundworks are normally treated as a building or structure for capital allowances purposes and fall outside the Annual Investment Allowance; they may instead qualify for Structures and Buildings Allowance, relieved over a fixed period rather than in year one. Court surfacing, netting, floodlighting and other plant bought within the same project can often be claimed as integral features or plant and machinery, eligible for the Annual Investment Allowance up to £1,000,000 in the year of purchase. Ask a capital allowances specialist to apportion the build cost before claiming, and keep the contractor's itemised quote as evidence.
Padel courts are bought by dedicated padel operators opening a first site, established tennis and health clubs adding courts to existing land, and hotels or holiday parks building a court as a guest amenity. Most are financed rather than paid for outright because the panel, glass and groundworks package arrives as one large invoice before any court-hire income has been taken, and spreading that cost protects the cash a new site needs for marketing and staff in its early months. Where the court sits on leased land, a lender will usually want to see landlord consent for the structure and an agreed dilapidations position covering removal or reinstatement at the end of the lease, since the panel and glass system is a fixed installation rather than equipment that can simply be taken away. Replacement spend tends to go on resurfacing and re-glazing worn panels rather than rebuilding the whole structure, and because courts are built and glazed in place there is no established market for buying or selling a used panel and glass system separately from the site it stands on.
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.
