Focused on supporting customers and industry to develop and grow across hospitality and sectors including Restaurants, Cafes, Motels, Hotels, Clubs and Coffee. Capitalizing on my years of experience in the North American Hospitality sector I have a keen understanding of the needs of Franchisors and franchisees alike.At EconoLease we provide flexible finance solutions to help hospitality entrepreneurs grow their businesses. Our dream, though, is to help hospitality entrepreneurs achieve theirs. We finance new site development, renovations, brand upgrades and rollouts right through to simple unit level equipment replacements.SilverChef acquired EconoLease in December of 2021, as a result our franchise team was repositioned under the EconoLease banner. This is an exciting development as we have a whole new program, with new funding solutions exclusively for the Franchise Channel. We have very competitive finance programs and rates.
