Frequently Asked Questions About Equipment Leasing
How do I apply for restaurant equipment financing?
Fill out the form on this page or contact our team, and a TFI representative will reach out within 24 hours to go over your options. You can estimate your payments first with Econolease's TFI lease calculator, then choose a term from 12 to 60 months and complete your application online.
How fast is the approval process?
Most applications are approved within 24 hours or less. The application is digital, and once you're approved, you complete the lease paperwork and TFI delivers your equipment. If you're working toward an opening date, apply early so delivery and installation can be scheduled around it.
Can I lease equipment if my business is new?
Yes. Startups and established businesses are both eligible for restaurant equipment financing through TFI and its financing partners. If you're opening your first location, our team can help you choose equipment sized to your menu and expected volume, so the monthly payment matches what the business needs.
What if I have a low credit score?
Econolease works with a range of credit profiles and will discuss the best options for your situation. Apply through the form on this page, and a TFI representative will walk you through what's available, including the term length and payment schedule.
Is restaurant equipment leasing the same as financing?
They're closely related. With TFI's lease-to-own financing, you make payments over a term of 12 to 60 months and own the equipment at the end of the term. If you only need equipment for a short time, TFI's commercial kitchen equipment rentals offer month-to-month terms on used and demo units instead.
Can I include shipping and installation costs in my lease?
Yes. Your lease can cover the full purchase, including shipping and installation, so you aren't paying those costs up front. Ask your TFI representative to include delivery and installation in your quote, and the total is spread across your monthly, weekly or seasonal payments.
Can I lease multiple pieces of equipment at once?
Yes. You can finance multiple pieces of commercial kitchen equipment under a single lease agreement, such as a Henny Penny fryer, a Taylor soft serve machine and a Franke coffee machine for a new location. One agreement means one payment schedule, which keeps a full kitchen fit-out simple to manage.
Can I rent-to-own commercial kitchen equipment?
Yes. A lease-to-own plan works like rent-to-own: you pay over 12 to 60 months and own the equipment at the end of the term. It's available on commercial kitchen equipment from Henny Penny, Taylor, LightFry and Franke. Our guide to leasing vs buying restaurant equipment compares the costs.
What lease terms and payment options are available?
Lease terms run from 12 to 60 months, with monthly, weekly or seasonal payment options. Seasonal payments suit businesses with a busy season, like ice cream shops and patio restaurants, because payments can be set around it. At the end of the term, you own the equipment.
Is there a restaurant equipment lease calculator?
Yes. Econolease's TFI lease calculator estimates your payments before you apply. For an exact quote on specific equipment, fill out the form on this page, and a TFI representative will reach out within 24 hours.
