Quick answer: Lease restaurant equipment in Canada with ease. Mehmi Financial Group offers flexible, fast, and affordable leasing options for startups and established restaurants.
Financing options to compare
| Option | Best suited for | Repayment structure | What to compare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equipment loan | Businesses planning to own the asset | Fixed scheduled payments | Down payment, term, fees, lien, prepayment |
| Equipment lease | Businesses prioritizing payment flexibility | Scheduled lease payments | End-of-term option, residual, fees, buyout |
| Business line of credit | Smaller recurring purchases or deposits | Revolving balance | Draw limits, interest, renewal, security |
Terms, eligibility and costs vary by lender and borrower profile. Compare the full financing agreement rather than relying on a single payment or rate.
Opening or expanding a restaurant is exciting—but also expensive. One of the biggest upfront costs is kitchen equipment. Rather than paying out-of-pocket, restaurant equipment leasing lets you preserve capital while getting the tools you need.
