Imaging systems, scanners, linear accelerators, theatre and laboratory equipment financed for hospitals, clinics, surgeries, labs and veterinary groups across the UK and Europe — plus vendor leasing programmes for medical equipment manufacturers and distributors.
Medical equipment leasing lets hospitals, clinics, surgeries, laboratories and veterinary practices use high-value clinical technology for fixed monthly rentals instead of a single capital outlay.
Rentals can be matched to income, reimbursement and contract cycles. Installation, software, accessories and service contracts can sit inside one agreement. At term end, equipment can be upgraded rather than run to obsolescence — critical in imaging, where technology moves faster than most depreciation schedules.
Oak Leasing Ltd is a bespoke pan-European funding facilitator for equipment finance across the UK and Europe, established 1992. We are not a lender: we place each transaction with the funder on our 40+ panel best suited to the asset, sector and country.
