Yes, security tagss 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 £2,000 to £60,000, and most deals are written over 24–48 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 EligibilityThis equipment qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, so a purchase or HP agreement can be deducted against taxable profit in the year of purchase. Finance lease payments are typically deductible in full from profit as they are paid, and refinancing an owned asset does not change its capital allowances position.
What gets financed under security tags is the detection system, the antenna pedestals at the door and the deactivation or detaching equipment at the till, rather than the tags themselves, which are a low-cost consumable bought on a running basis and not suited to asset finance. Multi-site retailers usually roll out the same detection technology, acousto-magnetic or radio frequency, across an estate to keep tag stock and till procedures consistent from store to store, so like other retail equipment here the finance is often sized to the rollout rather than one store. Replacement is typically driven by a store refit, a move between AM and RF technology, or extending source tagging, where the tag is applied at the supplier rather than in-store, to a wider product range requiring different deactivation equipment at the till.
