Guildford's incorporated companies span gaming, technology and professional services on the M25/A3 corridor — Credit Corp offers short-term lending to UK incorporated Guildford businesses, no personal guarantee, same-day decisions. £50–£500 over 14–84 days.
UK Ltd or LLP only · No personal guarantee · Decisions most working days
Lending to businesses in your city
Guildford has one of the UK's best-known video-games development clusters, alongside a dense base of technology, telecoms and professional-services firms drawn by its location on the A3/M25 corridor and proximity to the University of Surrey. Incorporated studios and tech firms typically fund a development milestone or contractor costs before a publisher or client invoice settles.
The town centre also supports a strong independent retail and hospitality scene serving a wealthy commuter catchment, with the usual seasonal stocking and staffing squeeze ahead of a peak.
A games studio funding a milestone before a publisher pays, or a retailer stocking up before a peak weekend, both face the same underlying gap — a short, fixed-term loan closes it cleanly.
Credit Corp does not lend against a postcode — the decision is identical wherever your company trades. A limited company registered in Guildford or the wider Surrey area is assessed on exactly the same basis as anywhere else in the UK, with no personal guarantee.

Credicorp Loan
Recommended for most needs
Most Guildford businesses need a fixed sum to bridge a specific, short gap — a development or contractor cost, or a seasonal stock buy — until a client or publisher payment lands. A fixed-term Credit Corp business loan covers that defined gap at a total cost you know from the outset, with no revolving trap and no personal guarantee.
£50–£500 in one advance
Fixed 14–84 -day term
0.25%
per day simple interest + £5 establishment fee
If the need is one specific bill — a software licence or contractor invoice — Credicorp Slice spreads that single bill over 3 or 4 weekly instalments at a flat 6% fee with no interest compounding.
Bills of £50–£2,000
Flat 6% fee — no compounding
3 or 4 weekly instalments by Direct Debit
Settle early and we refund the unused fee pro rata
Borrowing is expensive relative to bank lending.
Only borrow if the cost is less than the gap it closes. Total cost capped at
100% of principal — you will never repay more
than double. Because we lend to the company, no director signs a personal guarantee.
Who can apply?
UK limited company or LLP (body-corporate lending only — not sole traders)
6+ months trading
Current UK business bank account
Director identity check (you, not the company, as the company's authorised representative)
No personal guarantee required — the obligation is the company's
Interest can be quoted as a daily rate, a monthly rate or an APR — and the same loan can look very different depending on which you read. This guide explains how business loan interest is actually calculated so you can compare offers on a like-for-like basis.
Secured loans are backed by an asset; unsecured loans are not. That single difference changes the rate, the speed, the amount, and the risk. This guide explains how each works and when each makes sense for a UK business.
A personal guarantee makes a company director personally liable for a business debt — so if the company cannot repay, the lender can pursue the director's own assets. Lending without one keeps the borrowing where it belongs: with the company. This guide explains what a personal guarantee is, why it matters, and what no-personal-guarantee lending changes for UK directors.
Credit Corp lends to UK limited companies and LLPs under the
body-corporate exemption (Articles 60B and 60L of the Financial Services and Markets
Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001), which puts this lending outside the
consumer-credit regime. The Financial Ombudsman Service and Financial Services
Compensation Scheme do not apply.
