SilverChef’s purpose is to help people — our customers, our team, our partners, and the community — achieve their dreams.
Since 1986 we’ve helped more than 85,000 hospitality businesses get started and grow. We do this by providing flexible restaurant equipment financing.
As many as 40 per cent of our customers don’t qualify for finance from traditional lenders. We love to lend a hand where others won’t.
From Brisbane, Australia, we've expanded across the globe into the United States, Canada and New Zealand, investing more than $1.6 billion into the hospitality industry along the way.
