Why Lease Catering Equipment?
Leasing catering equipment allows you to use the latest kitchen technology and catering tools while protecting your working capital. Instead of large upfront purchases, you spread the cost through manageable monthly payments. This financial flexibility can make a crucial difference in a sector where cash flow and efficiency must work hand in hand.
In addition, leasing offers potential tax benefits and simplifies long‑term budgeting. Rather than owning equipment that starts to depreciate the day it’s installed, you can plan predictable costs and upgrade easily when newer, more efficient models become available. It’s a transparent, practical route for sustained business growth.
A Trusted Finance Partner in Catering Equipment
With three decades of experience, Oaklease has supported businesses in almost every corner of the hospitality industry, restaurants, pubs, hotels, cafés, bakeries, schools, and event caterers. We’ve built lasting partnerships with businesses who value honesty, flexibility, and deep product knowledge.
Our philosophy is simple: finance should work for you, not against you. We take pride in providing clear advice, competitive funding structures, and personal service that puts your needs first. When you work with Oaklease, you deal with people who understand your business, not a faceless finance company focused only on numbers.
Our Approach: Transparency, Clarity, and Confidence
At Oaklease, we believe transparency builds long‑term trust. Every quote, agreement, and repayment schedule is explained clearly from the start. There are no hidden fees, no confusing clauses, and no pressure to accept unsuitable terms. We take time to ensure you understand every option before you decide.
Clarity is also central to how we communicate. Leasing should never feel daunting, so we explain each stage in plain English, using real‑world examples rather than technical jargon. Our experienced team guides you through the process from start to finish, ensuring your leasing arrangement fits seamlessly with your goals and cash flow.
Confidence comes naturally when you work with people who have done this for over three decades. Our understanding of suppliers, manufacturers, and catering equipment distributors across the UK means we can often coordinate directly with them to speed up delivery and installation, keeping your project on schedule.
What Equipment Can We Finance?
Oaklease can fund almost any type of catering or hospitality equipment, including: 
• Commercial ovens, ranges, and combination cookers
• Deep fryers, grills, and extraction systems
• Refrigeration and cold storage units
• Coffee machines, espresso systems, and bar equipment
• Dishwashers and glasswashers
• Hot and cold food display units
• Preparation tables, mixers, slicers, and blenders
• Full kitchen refurbishments and installation.
Whether it’s a single key item or a complete kitchen refit, we structure leasing options that make practical and financial sense.
Flexible Leasing Tailored to Your Business
Every catering operation is unique, so every finance arrangement we create is customised. You choose the term, repayment frequency, and end‑of‑term options that best fit your business plan. Common options include:
• Fixed monthly payments over one to five years for predictable budgeting.
• Seasonal payment structures aligned to trading patterns for event or holiday‑driven businesses.
• Upgrade or replacement options that let you refresh equipment easily as technology advances.
This agility helps avoid the burden of outdated or inefficient assets, which can increase running costs and reduce competitiveness.
Expertise You Can Depend On
After 33 years of specialising in business equipment leasing, our understanding goes far beyond the numbers. We’ve seen how thoughtful funding decisions directly influence operational success. That level of insight lets us anticipate potential challenges, advise on best practices, and build bespoke solutions around your business model.
Because we work independently, we are not tied to any single bank or manufacturer, we can compare multiple funding lines to secure a structure that delivers real value. Our role is to act as your long‑term finance partner, ensuring your business remains agile and well‑equipped for continual growth.
Putting your Goals First
Every Oaklease customer benefits from personalised service. We take time to learn about your business, your priorities, and your future plans before recommending a leasing path. Our aim isn’t simply to approve funding; it’s to help you make financing decisions that empower your operation for years ahead.
When you partner with Oaklease, you can expect professionalism, transparency, and the same level of attention we’ve given our clients for over three decades. It’s an approach built on real relationships and a belief that strong partnerships produce better long‑term results.
