Silver Chef's Rent-Try-Buy is a premier rental solution perfect for cafe owners, restaurateurs and caterers who want to keep their options open. With the Rent-Try-Buy solution, you are not locked into a long term contract. Your commitment is only a 12 months agreement which gives your business the flexibility to:
2. Return the catering equipment at the end of the 12 Months agreement if you decide it is no longer required
3. Continue to rent the catering equipment and reduce your rental repayments and the purchase price
4. Upgrade if you decide your business has outgrown the original catering equipment
» Requires no director's guarantees (don't have to put your house on the line!)
» Rental payments are 100% tax-deductible for business use
» Renting is off Balance Sheet (it doesn't affect your capacity to borrow for future expansion)
| Franchise Accreditation: | ||
| Silver Chef has recently launched Franchise Accreditation to help franchised businesses in Australia: |
||
|
Franchise Accreditation allows franchisors and franchisees to fund their equipment and store fit-out requirements without putting their personal assets on the line. This process can help franchisors attract the right franchisees to their business and assist by offering pre-approved funding for all existing and prospective franchisees.
Franchisees will have access to additional benefits over and above the standard Rent-Try-Buy solution:
» Pre-Approval - you need to complete a one page application form and you have pre-approved funding up to the accreditation limit.
» Reduced Bond - the standard Rent-Try-Buy agreement requires a 13 week security bond to be paid. For accredited franchise groups, this is more than halved to just 6 weeks.
» Rental Discounts - if you decide to continue renting your equipment for more than 24 months, your weekly payments will be reduced by 25%.
» Dedicated Franchising Team - accredited franchises have access to a dedicated team of professionals at Silver Chef's Franchising Department, so you know you will get the best service every time.
