For many chefs, the dream of owning a restaurant or food trailer feels just out of reach. The upfront costs, permits, and logistics can make it seem overwhelming. But for Derek, a lifelong chef with years of experience in the restaurant industry, taking that leap was made easier thanks to Rent 2 Own Trailers.
A Dream Years in the Making
Derek had been eyeing the idea of starting his own food trailer for three to four years. “First time I heard about Rent 2 Own Trailers was about three years ago,” he shares. “They've always been on my radar.” Like many aspiring food entrepreneurs, he wanted the freedom and flexibility of running his own business but needed an option that wouldn’t break the bank.
When he and his wife finally decided the time was right, there was only one company that came to mind—Rent 2 Own Trailers.
The Easy Path to Business Ownership
Getting started was easier than Derek expected. “The process to start was actually pretty easy,” he says. A Rent 2 Own Trailers advisor, Greily, guided him through the options, helping him select the right trailer for his vision. “She was amazing—very informative and helpful. She showed us different trailer sizes and helped us figure out what would fit our needs best.”
Unlike traditional financing that requires credit checks and large upfront costs, Rent 2 Own Trailers made the journey to ownership affordable and straightforward.
