Secure Liquidity: Why Gastro Leasing is the Smart Choice for Your Professional Kitchen

As a restaurateur, you know: A professional kitchen is the heart of your operation. However, acquiring state-of-the-art commercial kitchen technology can quickly become a significant financial hurdle. Especially for new founders or during planned expansions, high investments can heavily strain liquidity. This is precisely where Gastro Leasing comes into play – a flexible and clever alternative to outright purchase.


What is Gastro Leasing and how does it work?

Imagine you're renting a car instead of buying it. Gastro Leasing works similarly: You don't pay the full purchase price all at once, but rather comfortable, fixed monthly installments over an agreed period. At the end of the contract, you often have the choice: either you take over the equipment at its residual value or simply return it and opt for new, more modern equipment.

This approach preserves your liquidity and eliminates the need for large sums upfront. Your gastro equipment can immediately generate revenue, essentially financing itself.


Your Advantages with Gastro Leasing at a Glance

Leasing commercial kitchen technology offers you, as a restaurateur, a whole host of decisive advantages:

  • Liquidity Preservation: You pay predictable, fixed monthly rates instead of high one-time payments. This keeps your capital free for other important investments, like marketing or staff development.

  • Equipment "Earns Its Own Keep": Your leased equipment can be put into operation immediately and already generates its own costs, directly contributing to your business success.

  • Reduced Bureaucratic Effort: Since commercial kitchen technology doesn't need to be factored into a loan, your bureaucratic effort is significantly reduced.

  • Balance Sheet Neutrality & Tax Advantages: Leased equipment does not appear on your balance sheet, which improves your equity ratio. The monthly leasing rates are also fully deductible as operating expenses – a significant tax advantage for you!

  • Maintaining Competitiveness: Lower large investments allow you to use capital for other business-critical areas, such as marketing or personnel development, thus securing your competitiveness.

  • Always Up-to-Date Technology: Leasing offers you flexibility regarding upgrades. You can regularly access the latest and most energy-efficient kitchen technology without high replacement costs. This keeps you competitive.

  • Optimized Cost Distribution & Planning Security: Costs are distributed over the period of use, which simplifies your budget planning. Fixed rates over a defined term ensure transparent costs.

  • Variable Term: Adapt the contract term to your individual needs.

  • No Impact on Credit Line: A leasing agreement generally does not impact your bank credit line, ensuring you continued access to further financing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Gastro Leasing

We've summarized the most important questions about Gastro Leasing for you:

What is leasing for private & commercial use? Leasing is a financing method available to both private consumers and commercial businesses. You (the lessee) enter into a contract with the leasing company (the lessor). You pay monthly rates to use commercial kitchen equipment or other assets. At the end of the contract, depending on the agreement, you can either take over the equipment or return it.

Can I take over the equipment after the contract ends and what does that cost? Yes, many leasing contracts give you the option to take over the leased equipment at the end of the contract term at a pre-determined residual value. The cost of taking over varies depending on the agreement and the condition of the equipment. This is an advantage of leasing, as you have the option to keep the equipment if it is still suitable for your needs.

Do I receive new goods and is shipping free? Normally, you receive new or as-new equipment when leasing. Shipping costs can vary from provider to provider, but in many cases, shipping costs are included in the monthly leasing rates or are agreed upon separately. Make sure you clearly understand the shipping terms in the leasing contract.

Can I change my equipment during the contract term? The possibility of changing equipment during the contract term depends on the specific contract terms. In some cases, equipment changes may be possible if, for example, you want an upgrade or if a piece of equipment needs repair. It is important to clarify these options with the leasing company in advance.

Can I also buy my equipment or pay it off early? Yes, some leasing contracts allow you to purchase or pay off the equipment early. This can be useful if you want to keep the equipment or if your business requirements change. The costs for early purchase or payoff are also contractually defined.

Is leasing like an installment loan with a Schufa entry? Leasing is a separate financing method and is generally not treated like a traditional installment loan. This means that a leasing contract normally does not have a direct impact on your Schufa credit score. However, the monthly leasing rates are taken into account in your overall financial balance if you have other loans or financing obligations.

My equipment needs repair, now what? Costs? Repair costs can vary depending on the leasing contract. In many cases, repair costs are part of the leasing contract, but this should be clarified in advance. If repairs are necessary, contact the leasing company to discuss the procedure and costs.

Can I review the contracts before my inquiry? Yes, you generally have the right to review and inspect the leasing contract before signing. This is an important step to ensure that you understand and accept the contract terms before committing. Read the contract carefully and clarify any ambiguities with the leasing company.

Can seniors/pensioners also lease? Yes, leasing is generally accessible to people of all ages and in various life situations. Seniors and pensioners can enter into leasing contracts, provided they meet the creditworthiness requirements of the leasing company. The decision depends on individual financial circumstances.
