FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What types of robotics and automation equipment can be financed?

UK asset lenders will finance a wide range of robotics and automation equipment including industrial robot arms, cobots, welding robots, automated assembly systems, AGVs, AMRs, palletising robots and full turnkey automation cells. The key requirement is that the asset has a resaleable value.

What are typical robotics finance rates in the UK?

Robotics finance rates in October 2026 range from around 5.0% APR for established businesses through clearing banks such as HSBC and Lloyds, to 7–13% through specialist and fast-turnaround lenders. The rate depends on your business credit profile, the asset value and the lender.

How do I get the best deal on robotics finance?

The most effective approach is to use a whole-of-market broker who can compare rates across the full UK lender panel simultaneously. Doulton Bridging Finance searches the full panel and presents the most competitive terms for your specific deal and business profile.

Asset finance for business purposes is not regulated by the FCA. Rates shown are indicative as at October 2026 and depend on credit profile, term, asset and deposit. We act as a credit broker, not a lender. Your asset may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments.
