What is Middle Ticket and Mid Ticket Asset Finance?
Middle ticket leasing and mid ticket asset finance Europe typically sit between small-ticket under £250,000 and very large, highly structured deals over £10 million. Oak can arrange funding in euros, krona, sterling or zloty.
This space tends to involve complex, higher-value assets and multi-site or multi-country deployments where standard “off the shelf” finance is not enough.
In practice, this covers:
• Production machinery, engineering and process equipment
• IT, data centre, and network infrastructure
• Medical and laboratory technology
• Transport, logistics, and specialist vehicles
These assets are often mission-critical, so the finance structure must support uptime, upgrades, and cross-border roll-out rather than just achieving a simple approval.
33 Years, 30 Countries, 40 Funders.
Oaklease’s 33 years in middle ticket equipment leasing have created a combination of knowledge and networks that is difficult to replicate. Over time, Oaklease has developed strong relationships with a panel of forty funders across the UK and Europe, each with different sector strengths, ticket-size appetites, and risk profiles.
This matters because:
• It increases the likelihood of securing competitive terms for complex or non-standard assets.
• It allows Oaklease to match each deal to the most appropriate funder, instead of forcing every requirement into one lender’s policy.
• It supports consistent structures across 30 European countries, simplifying multi-country projects for clients that want one approach rather than fragmented, local arrangements.
Transparency and Clarity in Everything.
The Oaklease difference rests on transparency and clarity in everything we do. Contracts are written in plain language, success fees and rates are fully disclosed, and there are no hidden add-ons buried in fine print. Clients understand not just the payment profile but also residual assumptions, end-of-term options, and any obligations attached to cross-border usage.
This clarity extends beyond documentation:
• Proposals clearly set out structure, funder type, term, residual stance, and options at expiry.
• Clients see the reasoning behind the recommended solution, not just a headline rate.
Oaklease, a leader in this field, demonstrates a distinct approach that combines bespoke structuring, pan-European access, and transparent fixed rate terms, all of which are highly relevant in today’s risk-conscious business climate.
