About Taylor

The Taylor Company designs, manufactures and services commercial foodservice equipment for frozen desserts, frozen beverages and grilled specialties. In June 2018, The Middleby Corporation completed its $1.0 billion acquisition of Taylor from United Technologies.

Taylor equipment on our list

Our eligible equipment list includes Taylor soft serve machines such as the C713 soft serve freezer, which can serve soft serve ice cream, custard, frozen yogurt and sorbet. Taylor machines are found in quick-service restaurants, ice cream shops, dairy bars, cafes and convenience stores.

How lenders view Taylor soft serve machines

Restaurant equipment is assessed largely on the business's cash flow, because resale values for used foodservice equipment are lower than for heavy machinery. Lenders review the business's bank statements, time in business and location, along with the machine quote, installation and any service plan. New restaurants and franchises can be financed, often with a down payment or guarantor.

Packages and franchises

A soft serve machine is often financed with other kitchen equipment as part of an opening or renovation package. Franchise businesses may be assessed with the franchisor's support and system performance in mind. Seasonal businesses, such as summer dairy bars, may benefit from payment schedules that match their busy months.

How Taylor equipment financing works

Most Taylor 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 Taylor 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 Taylor 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.
