Restaurant equipment financing in Hawaii
Hawaii restaurants pay island prices for everything from walk-ins to hood systems, and most growth means a new location or a bigger kitchen. We finance restaurant equipment and expansions for startups and established owners on Oahu, Maui, the Big Island and Kauai, from plate-lunch spots and food trucks to resort dining, with shipping and installation rolled in.

Restaurant equipment we finance in Hawaii
New or used, from island suppliers or mainland restaurant dealers.
Which financing fits your restaurant?
| Best for | Keep in mind | |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment lease / EFA | Kitchen equipment, trucks | Equipment is the collateral |
| Term loan | Expansion, second location | Fixed payments, stronger credit |
| Line of credit | Inventory, slow seasons | Pay interest only on what you use |
| Working capital / MCA | Fast cash for short gaps | Highest cost; use sparingly |
We will tell you straight when a cheaper option fits. A cash advance should not pay for long-term equipment.

Restaurant financing in Hawaii: common questions
Can a new restaurant in Hawaii get equipment financing?
Often, yes. Startups (pre-revenue or in business less than 2 years) need a minimum 650 credit score, industry experience and usually a down payment.
Can I finance equipment from a mainland restaurant dealer?
Yes. Many programs finance mainland purchases and can include shipping to the islands.
Can installation and the hood system be financed?
Usually, yes. Installation, delivery and ventilation work can often be included with the equipment on qualified deals.
Do you finance food trucks in Hawaii?
Yes. We finance new and used food trucks and trailers, including build-outs.
Is a merchant cash advance a good way to buy restaurant equipment?
Usually not. Advances are expensive and short-term. Equipment financing or a term loan is almost always cheaper for long-lived equipment.
