Finance for new catering equipment
Food and beverage companies rely on high-quality catering equipment to serve delicious meals and drinks to their customers. But many of these appliances or facilities can cost thousands of pounds, which most businesses don’t have lying around, especially if they’re just starting out.
When you want to launch, upgrade or expand your catering business, asset financing helps you access the equipment you need without high upfront payments. For example, a loan that only requires small, low-risk monthly payments, often at a fixed interest rate, can help you buy a new oven. That oven can then help you bring in more customers, earn more money and potentially be able to pay back your loan easily.

Catering equipment finance options
Asset finance gives you access to the catering equipment you need to attract more customers and grow your business. There are also potential tax benefits with asset finance, but we always advise customers to speak to their accountant about this.
We’ve covered a wide range of asset finance options in our blog (we’ve linked some useful articles below), and if there’s anything in particular you’d like to know, get in touch and we’ll be happy to advise you. Here’s a bit more information about each main type of asset finance:
Hire purchase finance
Hire purchase finance (sometimes abbreviated to HP) is a credit agreement where you pay a deposit and fixed instalments, but you do not “own” the item until you have completely paid it off.

Leasing
Leasing involves the owner of the item permitting someone else to use it on an ongoing basis, in return for regular (usually monthly) payments. At the end of the agreed period, you are usually required to return the item, although there are often options to buy it depending on the terms of the contract.

Loans
Loans tend to be a fairly straightforward way of borrowing money from a lender and agreeing to pay it back over a fixed period, with additional interest and fees charged on top.
