How much does a corporate video cost in the UK? A 2026 guide

It's the first question almost everyone asks me, and it's the hardest one to answer in a single line: how much does a corporate video cost? The honest reply is “it depends” — but that's not much use when you're trying to plan a budget. So here's the real breakdown, based on what I actually charge and see across the UK market in 2026.

The short answer

For most UK businesses, a single, professionally produced corporate video lands somewhere between £750 and £2,500. A straightforward one-location interview or brand film sits at the lower end; a multi-day shoot with several locations, a crew and a fast turnaround sits at the top. Bigger campaigns — launch films, TV-grade productions — go beyond that, but they're a different animal.

If you want the itemised version rather than a range, my full pricing page lists every service with a clear “from” price.

What actually drives the cost

Two videos can both be “corporate videos” and cost wildly different amounts. Here's what moves the number:

• Filming days. This is the single biggest factor. A half-day shoot is far cheaper than a full day, and every extra day adds up — crew, kit, travel and edit time all scale with it.
• Locations. One room is simple. Three sites across a city means travel, setup and lighting each time.
• Crew size. A lot of corporate work I shoot solo — just me, the camera and lighting. Add a second camera, a sound recordist or a director and the cost rises accordingly.
• Deliverables. One polished film is one price. That same shoot cut into ten social clips, a highlight reel and subtitled versions is more edit time.
• Turnaround. Standard delivery is built into the price. Same-week or same-day edits carry a premium because they bump everything else out of the way.

Day rate vs. project price

Some videographers quote a day rate; others quote per project. I do both, depending on what suits you. A day rate (mine starts around £1,200 for a solo shoot including kit) is great when you know roughly what you need and want flexibility on the day. A fixed project price is better when you want certainty — you know the final number before we start, and it won't move unless the scope does.

Whichever way you go, you should always see an itemised quote first. If a quote is a single lump sum with no breakdown, ask for one.

Where the agency mark-up disappears

A big chunk of what many companies pay for video never reaches the camera. It goes on account managers, project coordinators and agency overheads. When you work with me directly, that layer isn't there — you deal with the person actually filming and editing your video, from the first brief to final delivery. Same broadcast-standard result, without the middle.

How to get an accurate quote

The more you can tell me up front, the tighter the quote. Even rough answers to these help: What's the video for, and who's it for? Roughly how long should it be? How many locations and filming days? When do you need it? And is it one film, or a batch of content from one shoot?

You don't need to have it all worked out — half my job is helping you figure that part out. If you're weighing up a corporate film specifically, the corporate video production page walks through exactly what's included.

The bottom line

Good corporate video isn't cheap, but it shouldn't be a mystery either. For most UK businesses, budget £750–£2,500 for a single professional video, expect the price to track filming days and deliverables, and insist on a clear, itemised quote before anything begins. If you'd like one for your project, tell me what you have in mind and I'll come back within 24 hours.
