Why San Diego Operators Choose Northwood
Restaurant timelines are unforgiving — the lease clock starts before the equipment arrives. App-only approvals to $250K come back same-day, and we can fund against vendor deposits so fabrication and delivery don't stall.
New, used, and refurbished equipment all qualify, and buildout labor can ride along in the same transaction so you make one payment instead of five.

Frequently asked questions
- Can a first-time San Diego restaurant get financing?
- Yes. First-location concepts get funded when the owner has restaurant operating experience, reasonable personal credit, and a signed lease with a realistic buildout budget.
- Can I finance the kitchen buildout, not just the equipment?
- Yes. Hood and fire-suppression installation, plumbing, electrical, refrigeration lines, and millwork can be wrapped into the same transaction as the equipment.
- Do you finance used restaurant equipment?
- Yes. Used and refurbished equipment from dealers, auctions, and closed restaurants qualifies, typically on 24–48 month terms depending on age and category.
- Do you fund food trucks and ghost kitchens?
- Yes. Food trucks, trailers, and commissary or ghost-kitchen buildouts are financeable, including the vehicle and the equipment package together.
