Coffee Shop Equipment Financing vs. Leasing vs. Paying Cash

For most coffee shops, financing or leasing is the smarter choice. Espresso machines and cafe equipment can run $50,000 to $200,000 or more for a full buildout. Preserving cash for inventory, payroll, and rent is critical to surviving the first year and scaling to additional locations.

Frequently Asked Questions: Coffee Shop Equipment Financing

How much can I finance for coffee shop equipment?

Crestmont Capital offers equipment financing up to $10 million. Whether you need to finance a single espresso machine or a full multi-location buildout, we have the capacity to fund your project.

Can I finance a used espresso machine or used cafe equipment?

Yes. Crestmont Capital finances both new and used commercial equipment. Used espresso machines, grinders, refrigeration units, and other cafe equipment are all eligible.

Do I need a down payment for coffee shop equipment financing?

In most cases, no down payment is required. Crestmont offers 100% financing, meaning the full purchase price, including installation and soft costs, can be included in your financing amount.

What is the difference between equipment financing and equipment leasing for a coffee shop?

With equipment financing, you take ownership of the equipment and pay it off over time, similar to a business loan. With equipment leasing, you pay to use the equipment over a set term and have options to purchase, return, or upgrade at the end. Leasing often offers lower monthly payments and potential tax advantages through Section 179 deductions on lease payments.

How fast can I get approved?

Most coffee shop equipment financing applications receive a decision within 2 to 4 business hours. After approval, funding can happen quickly, so you are not waiting weeks to order your equipment.

Can a new coffee shop or startup cafe qualify?

Yes. Crestmont Capital considers startup coffee shops and new cafes. We review the full picture of your business and financial profile, not just years in business.

Can I include installation, training, and delivery costs in my financing?

Yes. Soft costs such as installation, delivery, and barista training can often be included in the financed amount, so you can cover the total cost of getting your equipment operational.

What if I need working capital in addition to equipment financing?

Crestmont Capital also offers unsecured working capital loans that can be used for inventory, payroll, marketing, and other operational needs. You can apply for equipment financing and working capital together.
