Why hospitality funds equipment rather than buying it
Hospitality is seasonal, margin-tight and equipment-heavy. A commercial kitchen refit can absorb a year of profit in a fortnight, and it usually has to happen in the quiet period when cash is at its lowest. Funding moves that cost into the trading months the new kitchen actually serves.
Commercial kitchen finance
Commercial kitchen finance covers combi ovens, ranges, fryers, extraction, refrigeration, dishwash and stainless fabrication. A full kitchen is usually funded as one facility rather than by supplier, which is simpler to manage and avoids several agreements running to different end dates.
Coffee machine finance
Coffee machine finance is one of the most common requests we see, because a commercial espresso machine and grinder is a serious capital item with a very fast payback. For cafés and coffee shops the monthly cost is often covered by a handful of covers a day.
EPOS and front of house
EPOS finance funds tills, terminals, handhelds, kitchen display and integration. It is usually part of a wider fit-out, and funding the front and back of house together is generally cheaper than splitting them.
Catering trailers and food trucks
Catering trailer finance and food truck funding cover the unit, the conversion and the equipment inside it. Because these are mobile, identifiable assets with a strong resale market, they fund more like a vehicle than a fit-out — often on longer terms than kitchen equipment.
Bars, hotels and clubhouses
Bar equipment, cellar cooling, glasswash, furniture and hotel FF&E all fund on the same basis. If you are refitting a venue rather than replacing one machine, send the full specification — a package almost always funds better than a series of separate agreements.

As an independent broker we find the right structure and rate — not one lender’s products.

Estimate your repayments
Asset finance is quoted on a flat rate, so that is what the buttons show, with the equivalent APR beside it. Your exact rate depends on the asset, the term, the deposit and the lender.
Prime is an established, profitable business with clean credit. Specialist covers newer businesses and credit that needs explaining — the asset itself carries part of the risk, which is why finance is often available where an unsecured loan is not.
Representative example: on Hire Purchase, borrowing £25,000 over 48 months at a 5.15% flat rate (equivalent to 9.9% APR representative), you would repay around £628 a month; total amount repayable approximately £30,150, of which £5,150 is the cost of finance. This calculator is for illustration only — it is not a quote or an offer of finance, and the rate and repayments you are offered will depend on the asset, term, deposit and your circumstances. CW Asset Finance is a credit broker, not a lender, and will receive a commission from the lender that funds your agreement. All finance is subject to status, affordability and lender approval.
Rates shown are indicative flat rates with the equivalent APR alongside — the two are not the same number. Indicative only and does not constitute a quote or an offer of finance. Subject to status and lender approval.
