About Garland
Garland's history goes back to 1871, when the Michigan Stove Company in Detroit made stoves and ranges under the Garland name, according to Garland. Garland has had Canadian roots since 1953, when Garland Commercial Ranges Ltd. was established in Mississauga, Ontario, and since 2010 all Garland products have been made there. Ali Group acquired Welbilt, Garland's parent, in 2022, according to Ali Group.

How lenders view cooking equipment
Ranges and cooking lines are financed mainly on the restaurant's cash flow and often as part of a kitchen package. Lenders review bank statements, time in business, the quote and installation.
Financing Garland equipment
Cooking lines are often financed with ventilation, refrigeration and prep equipment during openings or renovations.
How Garland equipment financing works
Most Garland purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.
What lenders check on a Garland restaurant equipment
Lenders look at the business cash flow, the location, and installation and ventilation costs. Commercial kitchen equipment is often financed as a package with installation.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and age, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Garland equipment
In Canada, the CCA class depends on the asset and how it is used. Your accountant can confirm the right class. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
End-of-term options on a Garland lease
A $1 buyout lease is built for ownership: you keep the machine for a nominal amount at the end. A fair market value lease usually has a lower payment, and at the end you can buy the equipment at its market value, return it or upgrade. Read the return conditions, such as hour limits and wear standards, before you sign.
Who finances Garland equipment
Restaurant: independent restaurants, franchises, bakeries, caterers, ghost kitchens and food manufacturers finance Garland equipment to take on new work, replace aging units or add capacity.
The right structure depends on how the equipment earns money. A machine tied to a long contract can support a longer term, while seasonal work may call for skip or seasonal payments that some lenders offer.
Questions to ask the dealer or seller before you finance
- What is the exact model year, serial number and age?
- Is there a service history or recent inspection report?
- Is any warranty or extended coverage included, and does it transfer?
- Are attachments, delivery, installation and taxes itemized on the quote?
- For a private sale, is the equipment free of liens, and who will provide the bill of sale?
Insurance on financed Garland equipment
Lenders and lessors require the equipment to be insured for its replacement or financed value, with the lender named as loss payee, before funding. Some also ask for liability coverage. Getting an insurance quote early avoids last-minute delays.
