Looking to hospitality equipment finance for a commercial kitchen, restaurant or café, but don’t want to burn up your cash flow? A catering equipment lease can be a piece of cake.
Flexible lease solutions mean manageable monthly payments which are 100% tax deductible*. You can also easily add on hospitality equipment supplies as your operations grow.
Ask about our rent to buy catering equipment finance calculator for all key equipment for the hospitality industry like a combi oven lease or any commercial kitchen equipment on finance.
Choose between an operating lease and a finance lease. At the end of an operating lease term, you can upgrade to new equipment, extend the lease, make an offer to purchase or simply return the equipment. There are no hidden clauses or residual value liability.
At the end of a finance lease term, you simply pay the agreed residual amount and you own the equipment outright.
