You should not disappoint, there are a lot of successful businesses that started with almost any money, There's always a way out from every situation. For people with financial problems, there are bank loans, which are a perfect bump for businesses. Then there's the option of renting equipment. If talking about a restaurant, the equipment is the most important part of it, besides the quality of the food. Find someone who will rent you equipment, and even in case of failure, you'll not lose a lot of money - you just return it to his owner. I think Ian Boer (which is the company from where I bought my display fridges (https://ianboer.com.au/displays/)) rents commercial kitchen equipment. At least that's what I saw on their site.
