Your kitchen is only as fast as its equipment

A combi oven that holds temperature, a walk-in that stays cold and a dish machine that keeps up with Saturday night all translate directly into covers served. When one of them fails, or when you are ready to add a second line, equipment financing lets you get the gear in place without draining the account you use for payroll and food.

Used and new equipment both come up. Tell us what you plan to buy and we will review it with your file.

How we review an equipment request

We focus on the restaurant's deposits, usually about three months of business bank statements, along with what you already pay to other lenders. That tells us what level of payment the business can carry comfortably. No tax returns are required, and FICO 500 and up is considered.

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000. Your offer lays out the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept, so there are no surprise costs after you sign.

Replacing broken gear vs. planned upgrades

Emergencies and upgrades call for different planning. When something breaks mid-service, speed matters most; decisions move fast and qualified restaurants can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Our equipment repair funding page covers that scenario. For planned upgrades tied to a second location or bigger menu, see restaurant expansion funding.

Thinking about payback before you buy

The best equipment purchases pay for themselves. A second fryer that cuts ticket times on wing night, an ice machine that ends the daily run to the store, or a more efficient dish machine that saves labor all have a clear return. Before you apply, estimate what the new equipment will add in sales or save in costs each week, then compare it with the repayment schedule in your offer. That simple check keeps the purchase working for the restaurant instead of the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I finance used restaurant equipment?

Yes, used equipment comes up often. Share the details of what you plan to buy and we review it alongside your deposits.

What credit score do I need?

FICO 500 and up is considered. We weigh your deposit history and existing obligations as heavily as the score.

How fast can I replace a broken walk-in?

Decisions move quickly, and qualified restaurants can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Are tax returns required?

No. About three months of business bank statements and a short application are enough to start.
