The smarter way to fund your Fit Out.
A quality fit out or refurbishment will transform your business. Thoughtful design, modern fixtures, and professional equipment create an atmosphere that attracts customers and improves how your team works. Yet, achieving this often requires substantial investment, and that’s where Oaklease comes in.
of committing large sums of cash upfront, financing your fit out allows you to spread the cost over affordable, manageable repayments. You get the entire benefit of your investment immediately, while retaining your working capital for other priorities such as stock, staffing, and marketing.
Oaklease offers flexible leasing terms tailored to your circumstances. Whether your project value is £15,000 or £500,000, our process is designed to be clear, fast, and fully transparent.
33 Years of Experience – A Foundation You Can Trust
Since our beginning, Oaklease’s philosophy has been built on clarity, integrity, and genuine customer service. In an industry where financial jargon can often create confusion, we make everything straightforward. Our plain English documentation and transparent terms set us apart.
After 33 years, that approach has earned us the loyalty of clients across the spectrum, from multinational groups completing major rollouts across Europe to family‑owned shops refreshing their interiors for the next generation. We’ve supported leading pharmacy groups, independent retail specialists, and national franchises, financing everything from counters, shelving, HVAC and refrigeration to lighting, flooring, and security systems.
Our team understands the challenges of deadlines, logistics, and cash flow that come with a fit out. We work closely with both end customers and shopfit‑out contractors, ensuring that every financial solution aligns perfectly with project schedules and business goals.
With Oaklease, you don’t get a funder who simply arranges finance, you gain a long‑term partner who considers how each decision will affect your operations months and years down the line. That’s why our clients return to us repeatedly whenever they need new funding or expansion support.
Transparency and Clarity at Every Step
Leasing should never feel complicated or uncertain. Oaklease operates with absolute transparency from application to completion. Every client receives a full explanation of all costs, terms, and responsibilities before proceeding. There are no hidden fees, no obscure clauses, and no fine print designed to confuse or mislead.
We believe clarity is power. A business that fully understands its finance can plan more effectively, budget more accurately, and invest more confidently. That’s the heart of the Oaklease ethos.
Our step‑by‑step process ensures consistency and reassurance:
1. Consultation: We discuss your project, timeline, and budget requirements in detail.
2. Proposal: You receive a transparent quotation tailored to your goals.
3. Documentation: Paperwork is written in plain language and explained clearly.
4. Approval & Delivery: Once approved, equipment or works proceed, and we coordinate with your shopfitter for timely funding.
5. Support: We stay available throughout the lease term for any adjustments, queries, or upgrades.
Because we prioritise clarity, our approval rates are high, our clients stay informed, and our partnerships last for years.
Fit out Suppliers and Contractors – Partnering for Growth
Oaklease also works closely with shopfitting specialists, fit out designers, and contractors who want to offer flexible finance options to their customers. Our vendor leasing programmes integrate finance directly into your proposals, allowing clients to say “yes” to refurbishment projects with confidence and without budget delays.
By partnering with Oaklease, suppliers can close sales faster, improve cash flow, and differentiate their services. We handle credit applications, documentation, and payments—all with the same emphasis on honesty, clarity, and smooth communication.
Our vendor relationships cover everything from single‑store upgrades to multi‑site rollouts across the UK and mainland Europe. For international manufacturers or contractors managing large projects, we provide consistent financial terms across all regions—avoiding the complexity of multiple local providers.
Supporting Businesses of Every Scale
Oaklease understands that no two businesses are alike. The finance needs of a multinational retailer differ from those of a single pharmacy , a new restaurant, a hotel refurbishment or a new office fit out, but all deserve the same respect and transparency.
Over three decades, we have worked with:
• Large corporate and franchise networks seeking unified leasing frameworks for multiple refits.
• Community retailers and pharmacists modernising premises to meet new standards.
• Independent shop owners revitalising their look to stay competitive on the high street.
This breadth of experience means our advisors can see challenges from every angle, commercial, operational, and financial. That “deep reasoning” allows us to craft practical solutions that work in the real world, balancing business objectives with cost control and long-term sustainability.
