Restaurant financing for Utah operators.
Trust Alliance Capital is a 22-year-old commercial equipment finance company. When your bank or the dealership's finance company declines your equipment loan, we have the program that fits. We give you options.
A real person answers the phone. In about three minutes you'll know if we can help.
Why Utah operators choose us
Most restaurant buyers in Utah run into the same wall: the dealership's finance company turns them down for one reason — time in business, credit profile, age of equipment, prior BK. The bank takes weeks and asks for paperwork that isn't relevant. The deal dies on a technicality, not because the customer can't afford the equipment.
That's our business. We've spent 22 years building programs for the deals other lenders can't fit. Across every credit tier. Strong credit usually gets zero down. Lower credit usually gets a higher down payment. We're flexible enough to handle every scenario.
No one bank beats our flexibility.
What we know about Utah restaurant financing
- Salt Lake City restaurant scene has matured rapidly — financing build-outs for chef-driven restaurants, gastropubs, and craft cocktail bars is a growing vertical
- Park City and Deer Valley ski-resort restaurants drive seasonal demand for high-capacity kitchens

We work with operators across Utah's major metros — including Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, St. George, and Lehi.
We routinely close deals at the major Utah restaurant dealers, including Restaurant Depot (UT), WebstaurantStore, KaTom Restaurant Supply, Strategic Equipment, and Utah Restaurant Supply — and any other vendor or private seller you choose. Once you're approved with us, you can carry your financing across dealers.

Who we fund in Utah
- Strong-credit operators who want the convenience of an equipment-finance specialist instead of bank paperwork. App-only, mostly phone and email.
- Established businesses scaling fleets that need fast underwriting without bank back-and-forth.
- First-time buyers who can't get past a dealer's captive on time-in-business or down-payment requirements.
- Operators with prior BK, slow pay, or thin file who need a finance company that will work the deal, not auto-decline.
- Buyers of used equipment outside captive age and hours limits.
- Operators who want one financing relationship across many dealers — TAC carries with you. Get approved once, work with any vendor in Utah.
What this looks like in practice
A Salt Lake City chef financing a kitchen buildout for a new downtown concept called us after the dealer's finance company declined his application. Three minutes on the phone and we'd identified the program that fit his file. We told him exactly what to expect — what to send, what the down payment range would look like, when he'd have an answer back.
Closed inside a week. Equipment delivered. Operator back to work.
It's rare we send anyone away without an option.

“As a small fleet we're always looking for the best financing options. Spencer and his team at Trust Alliance Capital came through strong with very competitive financing for a trailer we needed funded quickly. Spencer is quick, precise and knowledgeable in his craft. Without question he'll be our first call as we continue to grow in the future. I highly recommend.”

How we structure restaurant deals in Utah
- You call us or send the application. Three-minute phone diagnosis or 60-second pre-qual form.
- We underwrite your profile — terms based on credit tier, equipment age, time in business, industry, and what's funding today. We're a fishing guide for commercial finance.
- We bring real terms. Not "rate starts at" marketing numbers. Down payment, monthly payment, term, and what we'd need to close.
- You sign and get insurance, the equipment funds. Direct to the dealer or vendor. DocuSign close in many cases.
From first call to funded equipment, most deals close in a week or less.
Also financing in Utah
We work with operators across every equipment category. If you're buying something other than restaurant in Utah, we probably have a program for that too.
