Phoenix's food truck scene is booming — from downtown events to Scottsdale's Old Town corridor. Here's how aspiring and established food truck operators are financing their rigs and kitchen equipment.
Phoenix's food truck scene has exploded over the past decade. From the downtown Phoenix food truck parks to Scottsdale's Old Town corridor, Tempe's Mill Avenue, and the growing roster of corporate campuses and events that book food trucks year-round, the market for mobile food service in the Valley has never been stronger.
For food truck operators — both aspiring and established — the biggest barrier to entry or expansion is equipment. A fully outfitted food truck can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000, and a custom trailer build can run $30,000 to $100,000. Phoenix Equipment Finance helps food truck operators get funded with fast, flexible financing that traditional banks rarely offer for mobile food businesses.
Food Trucks (Step Vans & Custom Builds)
We finance new and used food trucks in the $50,000 to $200,000 range, including custom step van conversions, purpose-built food trucks from manufacturers like Prestige Food Trucks and Custom Concessions, and used trucks purchased from private sellers or dealers.
Food Trailers
Concession trailers and BBQ trailers are a lower-cost alternative to full food trucks. We finance trailers from $15,000 to $80,000, including custom builds and used trailers.
Commercial Kitchen Equipment
Griddles, fryers, steam tables, refrigeration units, prep tables, and ventilation systems are the heart of any food truck operation. We finance commercial kitchen equipment packages from $10,000 to $50,000.
Generator & Power Systems
A reliable generator is essential for food truck operations. We finance commercial generators and shore power systems from $5,000 to $25,000.
Many food truck operators are starting their first business, which means limited business credit history. We work with startup food truck operators who have:
For operators with established business history (2+ years), we can often finance with no down payment required.
