Spread the cost of a screen printing machine from £3,000 to £150,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, screen printing machines 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 £3,000 to £150,000, and most deals are written over 12–84 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.

A screen printing machine qualifies for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to £1,000,000. Hire purchase agreements let you claim capital allowances on the machine. Lease payments are generally deductible in full against profits as they fall due.
Screen printing machines are bought mainly by garment decorators, promotional merchandise firms and sign and display printers producing runs where screen's spot-colour vibrancy or specialist inks, metallics, puff, discharge, suit the job better than digital. A carousel or oval press represents a big step up in output for a business moving from manual printing, and because throughput scales directly with automation level, buyers tend to size the press, manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic, to the order volumes they're already turning away rather than speculative growth. Screens, emulsion, squeegees and ink remain a running cost separate from the machine finance and vary a lot by job. Replacement is usually driven by wanting more stations, faster indexing or better registration for detailed multi-colour work rather than the press breaking down, since these machines are largely mechanical and long-lived. A reasonable used market exists for garment presses from the established manufacturers, though flatbed and specialist screen equipment for signage tends to be a thinner secondhand market.
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.
