Built for restaurants.
Designed around real kitchen cash flow.

We understand the unique pressures of food-service businesses — seasonal swings, high equipment costs, tight labor margins, and the constant need to reinvest. Our financing solutions are matched specifically for restaurant operators.

Kitchen Equipment Without the Cash Hit

Finance ovens, refrigeration, prep stations, POS systems, and full kitchen build-outs with predictable monthly payments. Keep working capital free for food, labor, and marketing.

Flexible Capital for Seasonal Swings

Working capital and merchant cash advances that flex with your sales volume. Perfect for bridging slow months, covering payroll spikes, or stocking up before peak season.

Growth & Renovation Funding

Expand seating, open a second location, refresh the dining room, or acquire another concept. We structure financing around your cash flow so growth doesn’t starve the kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about restaurant financing from people who work with restaurants every day.

What types of restaurant financing do you offer?
We help restaurants with equipment financing (kitchen, refrigeration, POS), working capital loans, merchant cash advances based on card sales, renovation & expansion funding, inventory financing, franchise and acquisition capital, and longer-term SBA options when appropriate. We match the product to your cash flow and goals.
How fast can a restaurant get approved and funded?
Many restaurant owners receive competitive offers within hours of applying. Once you accept and provide any required documents, funding often occurs in as little as 5 business days — and sometimes faster when funds go directly to an equipment vendor.
What credit score do restaurants need?
We work with restaurant owners who have credit scores as low as 550. Approval is driven more by business revenue, cash flow, time in business, and the value of any equipment than by personal credit alone. This is often more flexible than traditional bank lending.
What kitchen equipment can be financed?
Virtually all commercial kitchen equipment: ranges, ovens, combi ovens, refrigeration and freezers, prep tables, dishwashers, ice machines, hood and ventilation systems, POS hardware, bar equipment, and full package build-outs. Both new and used/refurbished equipment are typically eligible.
Is a merchant cash advance a good fit for restaurants?
For many restaurants with consistent card volume, yes. You receive a lump sum and repay a small percentage of daily card sales. When sales are strong, you pay more; when they slow, payments automatically decrease. This can be easier on cash flow than a fixed monthly loan during slower seasons.
How much does it cost to work with Co. Buy Sell?
There is no upfront cost or application fee. We are compensated by the lender only when your financing funds. We shop multiple funders so you get the strongest terms available for your restaurant’s situation.
