• Purchase at any time during the 12 month period and receive 50% of the net rent you have paid.
• Upgrade at any time during the 12 month period to something BIGGER and BETTER, so you are not paying for the equipment you don’t need or use!
• Return the equipment after the 12 month period.
• Rent – continue to rent the equipment without being tied into any contract, meaning you can return the equipment anytime!
• Easy Own – rent for another 3 years after your first year is up, which offers you a decreased weekly rent by 30% and by the end of the 3 years you can buy out the whole contract for $1.

Renting vs Leasing:

If you’ve made the smart decision not to tie up capital in Catering Equipment, you now must weigh the option of renting against the more common financing option: leasing.

While leasing may look like a good idea at first glance, you need to take into account the full impact leasing Kitchen Equipment will have on your business.

A lease is a balance sheet item – which reduces your equity, your ability to borrow and, accordingly, your availability of working capital. Rent is an 'off-balance' sheet item (like salaries or electricity). This means that rental contracts have no impact on your equity, or on your ability to borrow.
