Helping You Equip and Grow
Catering operators today face constant pressure to invest in technology and maintain high service standards while managing cash flow responsibly. Equipment such as ovens, dishwashers, refrigeration, coffee machines, and EPOS systems are essential, but they’re also expensive to purchase outright. Leasing through Oaklease allows you to spread the cost of equipment over manageable monthly payments, protecting your capital for staffing, stock, or new opportunities.
Leasing removes the risk of sudden obsolescence. As catering equipment evolves, Oaklease gives you the flexibility to upgrade or add new appliances without financial strain. Our long experience in the hospitality and catering sector means we create finance solutions that work in the real world, clear terms, quick approvals, and no hidden surprises.
