Launching or upgrading a restaurant requires serious investment. Ovens, fridges, POS systems, prep tables—it all adds up. Instead of buying everything outright, many smart restaurateurs are choosing equipment leasing to stay nimble and cash-flow positive.

At Mehmi Financial Group, we help Canadian restaurant owners lease the gear they need to run efficiently, stay modern, and keep customers happy.

What Is Equipment Leasing?

Rather than spending thousands upfront, leasing allows you to pay monthly for the use of your equipment. At the end of the lease, you may have the option to return, upgrade, or buy the equipment. Leasing keeps your capital free for other needs like staffing, marketing, and ingredients.

Key Benefits of Restaurant Equipment Leasing

  • Preserve cash flow with low upfront costs
  • Access the latest models as technology changes
  • Payments may be tax-deductible as business expenses
  • Maintenance options available depending on your lease
  • Flexible terms that fit seasonal or growing operations
