Common questions
Everything most buyers ask before applying.
Will applying affect my credit score?
The initial assessment is a soft search — it doesn't affect your score. A hard credit check is only run if you proceed to a formal application with a chosen lender, and only with your consent.
How long does the whole process take?
Typically 5-10 working days from initial enquiry to funds released. We then schedule installation, training and commissioning — total time to first batch is around 12 weeks.
Can I get finance as a start-up or pre-revenue business?
Yes. Many of our customers are first-time distillers. Lenders typically ask for a business plan, projected cash flow, and may request a personal guarantee for businesses under 2 years old. We'll guide you through what to prepare.
What deposit will I need?
Deposits range from 10% to 20% depending on the lender, the equipment value, and your credit profile. Some packages require no deposit at all.
Can I settle early or upgrade later?
Yes to both. Most agreements allow early settlement with a transparent calculation of remaining interest. We also run a trade-up programme — if you outgrow a 100L still in 24 months, we'll help you transition to a 250L or 500L unit.
Are the monthly figures shown VAT-inclusive?
The figures shown are indicative net of VAT for illustration. Your formal quote will detail exact payments including VAT, fees, and any optional add-ons (delivery, install, training, extended warranty).
What if I want to return the still?
On hire purchase and lease purchase, you commit to the term. On operating lease, you return the still at the end of the term with no further obligation. We also run a buy-back programme for hire-purchase customers within the first 12 months — speak to us about the terms.
Ready to get a personal quote?
Tell us the still you're interested in, your business stage, and the term you'd like. We'll come back within 24 hours with indicative figures from 2-3 lenders — no commitment, no credit check.
