Hospitality Equipment Finance

Need finance for hospitality equipment? Don’t get (f)leased

If you’re on the hunt for new hospitality equipment, leasing or rent-to-buy can appear like a flexible and cost-effective option.

But it pays to take a closer look.

Here’s where traditional financing through a loan could be your five-star solution.

Full control

Customise your equipment, move locations, and do whatever you like restriction-free.

Lower and $0 upfront costs

Leasing often involves an upfront payment. With a Navigate loan it’s usually $0 upfront cost to you.

Lower long-term costs

With a Navigate loan, you’ll most probably pay a lot less in the long run.

Full ownership

Once you’ve paid off your loan, you have an asset you can use as collateral for future financing, sell, upgrade or continue to use - repayment free!

Better tax benefits

Not only is your loan usually tax-deductible as a business expense, but owning the equipment allows for depreciation deductions.

Build your credit rating

Successfully paying off a loan can build up that credit profile to make future financing even easier.

Your questions answered

Loans offer several advantages over leases, including ownership of the equipment after repayment, potential tax benefits, no usage restrictions, and the ability to customize or sell the equipment. Additionally, loans can be more cost-effective in the long run and provide more flexibility in terms of repayment terms.
Yes, with a loan, you can often claim the interest on your loan payments as a business expense. Plus, owning the equipment allows you to benefit from depreciation deductions. We recommend consulting with a tax professional for specific advice related to your business.
A loan allows you to borrow money to purchase equipment outright, making you the owner once the loan is fully repaid. In contrast, a lease is similar to renting the equipment for a set period. With a loan, you gain ownership and can benefit from tax deductions through depreciation. Leases don't result in ownership unless you pay additional amounts at the end of the lease term, and can prove a lot more expensive overall.
At the end of a loan term, you own the equipment outright. There are no additional payments or decisions about whether to return or buy the equipment, as is common with leases.
Generally, yes. Many loans offer the flexibility to pay off the balance early, which can save you on interest costs. We will discuss this with you to find your best option.
Owning your equipment provides long-term benefits such as asset accumulation, freedom to customise or upgrade as needed, and no ongoing lease payments once the loan is repaid. This can lead to reduced operational costs and increased flexibility in managing your business.
