Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Limited brick-and-mortar

Banks often decline operators lacking traditional dining room foot traffic.

Our partners look at delivery order history and digital channel performance.
02

Startup status

Traditional lenders avoid new ventures without three years of tax returns.

We match startups with lenders prioritizing equipment value and growth.
03

Specialized asset risk

Commercial banks struggle to value custom stainless or ventilation setups.

Equipment-focused lenders specialize in the resale value of kitchen assets.

Questions we get asked

Frequently asked.

Unlike traditional restaurants, lenders here focus on the specific liquidation value of equipment like high-capacity hood systems, walk-in coolers, and combi-ovens. They typically look at items that maintain 60% of their value after three years, ensuring the asset itself provides a safety net for the loan.
