Successful eateries offer much more than just food and drink. They create the right ambience, providing the perfect environment for their customers. That’s what keeps people coming back time and time again.
But fit-outs require high-end catering equipment, furniture, and fixtures and fittings. Add into the mix other hidden costs such as surveys, interior design, and energy bills, and the costs involved soon stack up.
For restaurant and takeaway owners, fit-out finance can help make it all possible.
Whether you’re looking to open your first eatery, are opening your next franchise location, or want to refresh a dated site, fit-out funding enables you to achieve your goals without requiring any large cash outlay.
Fit-out funding can cover bespoke furniture, bars, signage, partitioning, catering equipment, decorating costs, HVAC, and audio-visual equipment.
Are high upfront costs preventing you from funding your fit-out? Distributing payments over a period of time could help significantly – explore our funding options today.
How Does Restaurant & Takeaway Fit-out Finance Work?
At Origin, our team is by your side throughout the entire process and beyond. A fit-out usually consists of multiple suppliers, all with their own payment terms and delivery timescales. Our fit-out finance experts can assist with any requirement of £10,000 and above, and will liaise with your suppliers and handle the agreed stage payments, so you can focus on your business.
With access to a panel of over 120 lenders, many of whom are specialist fit-out finance providers, we’ll find a solution that works for your budget and requirements. The lender will make payment directly to the suppliers of your choice, and you repay the lender monthly over a period of between two and five years.
With Origin you can fund any requirement above £10,000. The equipment can be new and used.
