How Rent-Try-Buy works
It’s fast and easy to get started!
Lease-To-KeepGet approval for $10,000 or more within two business days. No obligation to use approved finance.
A cash flow-friendly finance solution that allows you to get the equipment you want now and spread its cost over time. Commercial kitchen equipment can be expensive and, for many businesses, beyond their budget. Even if you have the money to purchase the equipment up front, you risk putting pressure on your business’s cash flow. Lease-to-Keep makes equipment more affordable and reduces your financial risk by enabling you to spread the equipment’s cost over several years. |

Terms and Conditions:
Terms and conditions apply. Customers should seek taxation, legal or other professional advice independent to their personal circumstances, before applying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which types of hospitality equipment can I get finance for?
We’ll finance virtually any type of commercial kitchen equipment that helps your business make a profit. The equipment must have an invoice value of $1,000 or more (Rent–Try–Buy and Custom Equipment Lease) or $10,000 or more (Lease-to-Keep). You can finance either standard equipment (Rent–Try–Buy or Lease-to-Keep).
What do I need to apply for finance?
When you apply for $65,000 or less of Rent-Try-Buy finance, we'll generally only ask you three things:
- Who you are (Driver's license).
- The business the equipment is for (NZBN)
- The business address (i.e. where the equipment will be located)
We’ll then run an identification and credit check before giving you a decision on your application. To find out what’s required for applications for more than $65,000 of Rent–Try–Buy finance or for Lease-to-Keep finance or Custom Equipment Lease finance, please contact SilverChef (add link: https://www.silverchef.co.nz/pages/contact).
