For more than three decades, Oak Leasing has arranged equipment finance for businesses that need more than a standard product. We are a pan-European equipment leasing specialist and a vendor leasing programme specialist. We work with over 40 funders across more than 30 countries to match each transaction to the right lender, structure and jurisdiction.

Depth of knowledge

Equipment finance involves asset values, residual risk, tax treatment, cross-border documentation and the credit appetite of individual funders. Each of these affects whether a deal works and what it costs.

We understand how funders think and how to present a proposal so it gets approved. That lets us arrange structures many lenders won't offer:

  • Stage payment funding for equipment made in Europe
  • Large-asset sale and leaseback
  • Multi-country vendor programmes

Experience

Since 1992 we have worked through every phase of the credit cycle, across industries from manufacturing and logistics to technology and healthcare.

We have built long-standing relationships with banks, captive finance houses and independent funders across Europe. That experience lets us anticipate problems before they become obstacles, and we close transactions others can't.

Transparency

We are not a lender, and we say so from the outset. We arrange finance on your behalf and are paid a commission or arrangement fee by the funder once your agreement is activated.

You pay us no fees. We tell you how we are paid and who is funding your transaction.

Clarity

We use plain English contracts and give straightforward explanations. Before you sign, you'll know what you are agreeing to: the structure, the payments, your obligations, and your options at the end of the term.

If something is unclear, we explain it until it isn't.
