Buying used catering equipment safely

Used equipment can stretch a fit-out budget much further, but inspect with the same discipline you would apply to any business asset.

Confirm the serial plate, power or gas requirements, overall dimensions and access route. Ask for service history and a live test where practical. Photograph agreed condition and keep the listing reference with the invoice.

The marketplace introduces buyers and sellers; it does not inspect stock or hold purchase funds. Agree payment, warranty, returns and delivery directly in writing.
