Yes, pool tables 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 £1,500 to £7,000, and most deals are written over 12–48 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.

Check EligibilityPool tables qualify for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in year one, up to £1,000,000. HP allows capital allowances. Lease payments are fully deductible against profit. Where a table is supplied and financed by an operator on a revenue-share basis, it is the operator rather than the venue who owns the asset and claims the allowance.
Pool tables in pubs and clubs are usually placed by a specialist operator on a revenue-share basis rather than bought outright by the venue, with the operator owning, maintaining, and financing the table and splitting the coin or card takings with the pub. This distinction decides who is actually the borrower in most cases: it is the operator financing a table, or more often a run of tables across several venues, rather than the licensee or pub company, and a lender needs to understand which side of that arrangement the applicant sits on before assessing an application. A venue that does buy a table outright, rather than hosting an operator's machine, is treated as an ordinary small equipment purchase. Tables are generally durable and hold value well when properly maintained, with cloth, cushions, and the coin mechanism the parts most often serviced or replaced over a table's working life.
