$65,000 hospitality equipment facility for a second café location

The business needed equipment from several suppliers while retaining enough cash to cover wages, opening stock and the other costs of launching a second venue.

Illustrative scene: An Australian neighbourhood cafe getting ready to open a second location: commercial espresso machine on counter, under-counter refrigeration, compact commercial oven visible through serving hatch, stacked simple cafe chairs. Not the actual customer or their asset.
