Equipment Leasing & Finance Specialists, UK and Europe.

Equipment Leasing That Works for Real Business Across the UK and Europe.

Free up cash, protect your banking lines, and get the equipment you need without the financial maze. With over 33 years of experience across the UK and Europe, Oaklease turns equipment leasing into a practical tool for growth, not a puzzle.

We fund the awkward, the ambitious, and the overlooked, from startups needing £30,000 for a first fit‑out to manufacturers rolling out multi‑site projects across Europe.

Why equipment leasing?

Equipment leasing lets you use the equipment your business needs for a fixed term, paying regular rentals while the lessor owns the asset. It moves a lump‑sum CAPEX into predictable OPEX, preserves cash and banking lines, and aligns payments with the asset’s productive life.

Leasing can also be tax efficient, your accountant will confirm how this applies to you.
In practice, leasing helps you:
• Keep cash flow free for staff, stock, and marketing.
• Spread the cost, not the stress, with fixed known rentals.
• Protect your borrowing power with your bank.
• Move quickly when opportunities appear, or when competitors do.

From £10,000 to £10 million, we support startups, growing businesses, and established groups across the UK and 30 European countries.

Most lenders have a checklist, Oaklease has a conversation.

Why Oaklease?

Since 1992, we’ve worked to a simple principle: business finance should be practical, transparent, and adaptable.

We’ve seen recessions, recoveries, and technology revolutions, and we’ve learned how to spot problems early and structure deals that stand up to scrutiny.

• Sector‑agnostic but asset‑focused – we understand how different equipment earns its keep.
• Strong track record with multi‑currency, multi‑jurisdiction deals across Europe.
• Direct access to decision‑makers, not just online forms and auto‑declines.
• Plain English, clear documentation, no hidden fees, and no surprises from first discussion to final payment.
• 5‑star client reviews and long‑term relationships with suppliers and end‑users

“Oaklease looked past our credit score and saw the bigger picture. We wouldn’t have launched without them.” – Startup owner, UK hospitality

Who we work with.

We make leasing work for:

• Startups needing their first fit‑out or specialist equipment.
• Established manufacturers scaling across the UK and Europe.
• Suppliers who want to offer customers an equipment leasing option at the point of sale.

We understand that one‑size‑fits‑all leasing doesn’t work. Maybe the kit is in the “wrong” location, a bit older than the banks like, highly specialised, or part of an MBO. Maybe it doesn’t have four wheels – or any wheels. Whatever the challenge, we have the experience and funding network to find a solution.
