Oak has navigated economic headwinds, weathered four recessions, and a pandemic, and consistently assisted our customers to move forward.

That assures you that Oak has both the proven wealth of knowledge and expertise in business equipment leasing, we understand your needs and will provide you with the most effective leasing solution.  The leasing landscape is changing. Many of the larger mainstream banks are reverting to a sector-based focus on credit risk analysis when looking at any new business proposals, this applies also to equipment.

Simply put, a lease cost is a fixed-priced contract, so no matter how high inflation rises, the monthly lease amount remains the same.

Your customers will have today’s equipment at today’s price but paid with tomorrow’s pounds or euros.

In effect, you will beat any inflation price rise in equipment, and benefit from in real terms lower monthly repayments. That has to be a win-win!

We roll our sleeves up and ensure that your deals are accepted, no hullabaloo, no fanfare, just professional graft, knowledge of the market and leasing expertise.

Very simple, payment options matter, more now than ever before. Customers, large or small will expect their suppliers to offer a payment option.

If suppliers do not offer a finance option at the point of sale, CFOs and purchasing officers will simply sort out the suppliers that offer these options for them. Without a finance or lease option, you are facing stronger headwinds than your main competitors.
