Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM RENTAL PERIOD?

Rhima NZ warewashing equipment finance works with a 12-month minimum term. After that time, you can continue to rent, and after 3 years of continuous rental you will own the equipment you’ve rented from us, outright.

WHICH TYPES OF HOSPITALITY EQUIPMENT CAN I GET FINANCE FOR?

We’ll finance virtually any type of commercial kitchen equipment that helps your business make a profit. The equipment must have an invoice value of $1,000 or more (Rent–Try–Buy and Custom Equipment Lease) or $10,000 or more (Lease-to-Keep). You can finance either standard equipment (Rent–Try–Buy or Lease-to-Keep).

WHAT DO I NEED TO APPLY FOR FINANCE?

When you apply for $65,000 or less of Rent–Try–Buy finance, we’ll generally only ask you three things:
•Who you are (driver’s license).
•The business the equipment is for (NZBN). 
•The business address (i.e. where the equipment will be located).
We’ll then run an identification and credit check before giving you a decision on your application.  To find out what’s required for applications for more than $65,000 of Rent–Try–Buy finance or for Lease-to-Keep finance or Custom Equipment Lease finance, please contact SilverChef

With Rent–Try–Buy and Custom Equipment Lease, you can get approval for up to $65,000 of hospitality equipment finance in under five minutes (subject to you providing us with the information required and passing an identification and credit check).

If you need more than $65,000, we’ll get back to you within one business day to ask you for additional information; we should be able to give you a decision on your application within three business days. 

Lease-to-Keep finance applications are typically assessed within two business days, subject to you providing us with all the information required.
