Your equipment is your production line

In a coffee shop, the espresso machine is not a nice-to-have. It is the line between a normal morning and a lobby full of people walking back out the door. Grinders, brewers, under-counter refrigeration, ice machines, ovens for pastry and the POS system all carry the same weight. When one ages out or breaks, it needs to be replaced on your schedule, not a lender's.

Equipment financing lets you get the machine in place now and pay for it over time, with the funding tied to the equipment you are buying. That keeps your everyday cash free for beans, milk, rent and payroll instead of draining it all at once on a single machine. It also lets you time an upgrade to your busy season, so the faster bar starts paying for itself when lines are longest.

If the problem is a repair rather than a replacement, our equipment repair funding page may be the better read.

How we review an equipment request

Start with a quote or invoice for the equipment so the amount is grounded in a real number. Then complete the 5-minute application and share about three months of business bank statements. No tax returns required. We start with a soft credit pull, and FICO 500+ is considered. Sole proprietors can apply.

The amount depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, and qualified shops can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Your offer lays out the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept.

Equipment financing or general funding?

If the machine is one piece of a larger project, such as a remodel or a second location, you may want broader funding. See expansion funding for coffee shops or working capital. For ongoing smaller purchases, a line of credit can help. When you have a quote in hand, start your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I finance used or refurbished espresso equipment?

Tell us what you are buying and share the quote. We review the request alongside your deposits and existing obligations.

What do I need besides the quote?

A 5-minute application and about three months of business bank statements. No tax returns are required.

Can I finance several pieces at once?

Yes. Many owners bundle a machine, grinders and refrigeration into one request when they are opening or refreshing a bar.

What credit score is considered?

FICO 500+ is considered, and we start with a soft credit pull.

How soon can the equipment be funded?

Funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses, so you can place the order quickly.

Should I repair my old machine or replace it?

Compare the repair quote with the age of the machine and how often it has failed. If downtime keeps costing morning sales, replacement is often the cleaner long-term call, but the decision is yours.
