launched a new links page on the website. We have listed some
financial sites that should be of help and interest to you, including
a direct link for downloading the the application form for a Consumer
Credit Act Licence.

in writing business in Eire, we have an official partner in Dublin to handle all
of your leasing in Eire.

Irish leasing market, leaving equipment manufacturers on their own to arrange a
leasing programme in Eire. No matter what your equipment is, from small vending
machines, photocopiers, to plant and machinery, Oak is now the one stop shop for
leasing in Ireland.
