We are known to be transparent and straight talking, real people in the real world facing the same challenges that you face on a day by day basis, and have faced those challenges for over thirty years, as the saying goes, “we have the teeshirt”. That’s what makes us different, no jargon, no cliches, and definitely no “blue sky thinking!”

As a manufacturer or equipment supplier, offering equipment leasing as a payment option is a real game-changer for your business. 

The Growing Importance of Equipment Leasing in 2025

With more companies across Europe seeking flexible payment options, offering equipment leasing is no longer just an option—it’s a necessity. CFOs and purchasing officers are increasingly looking for suppliers who can provide finance options at the point of sale. If you don’t offer leasing options, you risk losing business to competitors who do.

Our focus remains firmly on the future, helping you navigate and mitigate critical challenges such as geopolitical risks, potential tariff fluctuations, and growing energy uncertainty across Europe.

Through close collaboration with over 40 European financial institutions, we harness their collective knowledge and expertise to deliver tailored, thoughtful solutions designed to meet your specific needs.

Stable Leasing Solutions in an Uncertain Market

In today’s unpredictable economic climate, equipment leasing provides stability. Unlike traditional loans, equipment leasing offers fixed monthly payments, protecting you and your customers from rising inflation. This allows your customers to obtain today’s equipment at today’s price, while paying with tomorrow’s money, ensuring lower real-term monthly repayments.

At Oak Leasing, we’ve weathered economic challenges such as four recessions and the COVID-19 pandemic, consistently supporting our customers with reliable equipment leasing solutions. Our extensive European banking network and years of expertise give you peace of mind that we are the right partner for your leasing needs.
