So, What's the Real Cost of a Corporate Video in the UK? (2025 Insights) How much does a corporate video cost in the UK? Planning a corporate video in the UK but unsure of the budget? Our 2025 guide gives you the real-world costs, from simple films to high-end productions, so you can plan with confidence.
Why Your Business Can't Afford to Ignore Video Let's be honest, corporate video has shed its dusty reputation. It's no longer just a formal "meet the CEO" piece.
Today, it's your most powerful recruiter, your most persuasive salesperson, and the most engaging way to tell your brand's story.
But before any of that can happen, one practical question always comes up: what are we actually looking at spending?
What Can You Expect to Pay? A Realistic Price Range Based on the current market in 2025, here’s a ballpark of what you can get for your budget:
£1,500 – £5,000: The essentials. Think a straightforward, one-day shoot in a single location, resulting in a clean and effective 1–2 minute video. This covers basic editing with simple text, not complex animations. £5,000 – £15,000: The step-up. This is for projects that need a bit more. We're talking multiple filming locations, hiring professional on-screen talent, more sophisticated motion graphics, and a more detailed editing process. £15,000 – £100,000+: The full package. This tier is for broadcast-level quality. It includes a cinematic feel, custom-built sets, advanced visual effects (VFX), and a proper strategy for how to get your video seen by the right people. What Actually Drives the Price Up or Down? A few key decisions have a big impact on the final number:
The Big Idea & Script: A strong, clear concept and script is the foundation. Investing time here makes everything that follows smoother and more effective. Filming Time & Team: More filming days and a larger crew (e.g., a dedicated sound recordist, lighting technician) naturally increase the cost, but also the production value. People and Places: Professional actors and securing the perfect filming location (not just the office boardroom) add to the budget, but also to the credibility and impact of the final film. The Edit Suite Magic: This is where it all comes together. The complexity of editing, colour grading, sound design, and any animation is a significant part of the cost. Getting it Seen: Do you need one master video, or different versions cut specifically for TikTok, LinkedIn, and your website? The number of final "deliverables" affects the price. Remember, the Lowest Price Can Be the Biggest Risk It's true, you can find someone to make a video for a few hundred pounds.
But the real question is: what is the cost to your business if that video fails to connect with anyone?
