Why Los Angeles Operators Choose Northwood
Los Angeles is one of the toughest restaurant markets in the country — high rent, long buildouts, and thin margins. That's exactly why we structure restaurant equipment deals around your cash flow, not just your credit score. Startups, second locations, franchise resales, and cloud kitchens all qualify.
We work with LA-based vendors, auction houses, and national suppliers, and can wire equipment invoices directly so you never front the capital.

Frequently asked questions
- Can a new LA restaurant get equipment financing?
- Yes. We fund pre-revenue and startup restaurants in Los Angeles using owner credit, industry experience, and equipment invoices. Programs run $25K–$250K app-only for new concepts, with larger deals available when a signed lease and buildout budget are in place.
- Do you finance used or refurbished kitchen equipment in LA?
- Yes. We fund new, used, and refurbished restaurant equipment from any California vendor or auction house, including WebstaffurantStore, Chef's Toys, Culinary Depot, and local LA suppliers.
- How fast can I get funded before my LA restaurant opens?
- Application-only approvals are typically returned same-day. Once you sign docs and provide vendor invoices, we can wire the vendor within 24–72 hours — fast enough to hit a hard opening date.
- Is a personal guarantee required?
- For most restaurant deals under $500K, yes — but we do not require real estate collateral. Larger requests may combine an SBA program with equipment financing.
