Common Questions

Can a startup restaurant get equipment financing?
Yes — restaurant equipment leasing for startups is one of the most common deals we structure. New operators typically see slightly shorter terms or modest first payments up front, but a signed lease and a realistic buildout budget matter more to us than years in business.
Is used restaurant equipment financeable?
It is — used and refurbished kitchen equipment from dealers or restaurant auctions qualifies, and it's often the smart play for ovens, mixers, and refrigeration where the price gap versus new is widest.
How does food truck financing work?
We finance the truck, the kitchen buildout, or both — typically $50K–$250K, terms to 84 months, with payments that can flex around your season. Apply online with your build quote for a decision in minutes.
Do kitchen equipment purchases qualify for Section 179?
Most restaurant equipment placed in service this year qualifies for Section 179 expensing even when financed — meaning the deduction can outrun your first-year payments. Model it with our Section 179 calculator and confirm with your CPA.
