Here's how we clear them. ### Walk-In Fails on a Friday We pre-qualify in 60 seconds and fund the dealer or installer same day. Most emergency replacements have a unit on order within 24 to 48 hours of the first call. ### Standard Financing Only Covers New Units Dealer programs lock you to new equipment from approved brands. We finance used, refurbished, and off-brand units — whatever fits the budget and the space. ### Installation and Electrical Are Extra We roll the electrical, freight, and install crew into one finance agreement. One payment covers the unit and everything needed to put it online. ## Refrigeration and Walk-In Financing — Move Fast When the Cooler Dies Refrigeration is the one piece of equipment that, when it fails, takes your whole operation down with it. Spoilage in the walk-in, ice machine out on a Friday night, reach-ins limping along all summer — every restaurant has the story. We move fast on refrigeration because the cost of slow is what’s in your inventory. We finance walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-ins, refrigeration systems, ice machines, prep-rail units, and bar coolers across any brand — True, Beverage-Air, Norlake, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, or whatever the project specs. It’s one piece of the broader restaurant equipment financing we provide across North Carolina [/ →](/) , from a single replacement unit to a full kitchen. ## Emergency Replacements — 24 to 48 Hours When a unit fails, the clock starts. Sixty-second pre-qual, same-day approval, and we fund the dealer or installer the moment they can ship. Most emergencies have a unit on order within 24 to 48 hours of the first call. That’s not a sales line — it’s the realistic outcome of our credit decisions and the way we pay vendors directly. The bottleneck is usually the unit’s availability, not the financing. ## Used and Refurbished — Fully Financeable Standard dealer financing locks you to new equipment from approved sellers. We’re vendor-agnostic, which means used walk-ins from a private seller, refurbished reach-ins from a used-equipment auction, or off-lease units from a restaurant that closed last quarter are all fair game. For a startup or a tight-margin operator, used can save you 40% or more. We finance it the same way. ![Technicians installing a walk-in cooler at night during emergency refrigeration replacement](https://placehold.co/1400x900/0051d5/ffffff?text=Restaurant+walk+in+cooler+night+install+technicians+commercial+kitchen+stainless+steel+door) ## Installation, Electrical, Freight — All In One Agreement Refrigeration soft costs aren’t optional. The electrical, the freight, the install crew, the slab work — they all add up to a real number. We roll them into the same finance agreement so you have one payment instead of three. The dealer ships, the installer sets, and the financing covers all of it. ## Planned Upgrades and Energy Efficiency If you’re not in an emergency, refrigeration upgrades pay back fast. Modern walk-in compressors and EC-motor reach-ins run dramatically lower on power. We can structure the financing against the projected energy savings so the unit largely pays for itself over the term. ## Pre-Qualify in 60 Seconds. No Out-of-Pocket Fees on Working Capital.
