Opening or upgrading a restaurant in Calgary requires significant investment, particularly when it comes to commercial kitchen equipment. The Food Service Equipment Depot (FED) understands the financial challenges restaurateurs face and has partnered with SilverChef and EconoLease to offer flexible financing solutions that can help you acquire the equipment you need without breaking the bank.
The Importance of Quality Equipment
High-quality commercial kitchen equipment is essential for running an efficient and successful restaurant. However, the upfront costs can be daunting. Financing options allow you to access top-tier equipment while preserving your working capital for other critical aspects of your business.
Financing Options Through SilverChef
The FED’s partnership with SilverChef provides Calgary restaurateurs with two primary financing options:
1. Rent-Try-Buy
This flexible option is ideal for new or established businesses needing $1,000 or more in equipment funding. Key features include:
- 12-month rental agreement
- Weekly rental payments
- Option to upgrade or buy equipment at any time
- 60% of net rental payments can be put towards the purchase price if you decide to buy
- 100% tax-deductible rental payments
Rent-Try-Buy is perfect if you want to test equipment before committing to a purchase or if you anticipate your needs might change rapidly.
2. Lease-to-Keep
Suited for businesses that have been operating for over 12 months and need at least $10,000 in equipment funding, this option offers:
- 48 or 60-month finance lease
- Low monthly payments
- Fixed interest rate
- Ownership of the equipment at the end of the agreement
- Tax-deductible interest component
This option is ideal if you’re certain about your equipment needs and prefer to spread the cost over a longer period.
