With Rent-Try-Buy, you can:

Change, upgrade or own at any time

Try the equipment before deciding whether to buy it! You have the flexibility to pivot operations by being able to change the equipment completely. Or you can upgrade your equipment if you want to keep it in warranty, or if you outgrow your current model.

Maintain your cash flow

Avoid large upfront costs. Keep your capital free for day-to-day operations and growth.

Have 100% tax deductible payments

When you rent your hospitality equipment, you can treat the rental payments as an operating expense, which can be claimed as a tax deduction!

Make the most of your approval

Your initial EconoLease finance limit remains valid for 90 days, so you can add more equipment if needed.

Enjoy flexible options after 12 months

Continue renting (at a discounted rate), upgrade, buy, or simply return the equipment. If you buy, we give you back 60% of your net rental payments made in the first 12 months to put toward the purchase price.

What are the benefits of leasing or renting restaurant equipment with EconoLease, and how do they differ?

Rent-Try-Buy ® :

  • A 12-month rental agreement that gives you the freedom to change, upgrade, or purchase your equipment at any time.

What is the interest rate?

For EconoLease’s lease product, they work with a variety of lenders to secure the best rates in market based on your profile. Rent-Try-Buy is a rental contract and as a result, does not have an interest rate.
