Benefits of SilverChef used equipment

Discounted prices

Our second-hand commercial kitchen equipment is much more affordable than equivalent brand-new equipment.

You can purchase or get finance for leading brands at significantly discounted prices, helping you stretch your budget further.

Peace of mind 

Most of our pre-owned equipment is under 2.5 years old — relatively new given most commercial kitchen equipment lasts 6.66–12.5 years (see table below).

Acquired from trusted sources and backed by a three-month warranty, it’s a safer option than buying used equipment from a private seller or at an auction.

* The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) allows most expenses involved in running a business to be claimed as tax deduction. These expenses must relate directly to income earned and be used for a commercial (not personal) purpose. They include operating expenses (e.g. rental payments) and capital expenses (e.g. depreciating equipment). This advice is general in nature and does not consider your particular circumstances. You should seek professional advice tailored to your personal situation.
