Lending to businesses in your city
Southampton is one of the UK's major commercial ports, and the logistics, freight, and marine services sectors shape the rhythm of business across the city. Incorporated companies operating in or around the port environment — from customs agents to specialist engineering firms — frequently encounter payment timing mismatches driven by the mechanics of international trade: goods move before payment clears, and supplier invoices fall due before client settlements arrive.
Beyond the port, Southampton has a well-established professional services community and a growing cluster of technology and advanced manufacturing businesses, many of which are tied to the aerospace supply chain and defence industry. These incorporated companies operate in environments where contract payment cycles can be long and invoice terms are set by large primes, leaving smaller companies carrying working capital gaps that a short-term facility resolves efficiently.
The city's retail and hospitality offer is substantial, with a mix of established shopping centres and independent operators. Incorporated businesses in these sectors face seasonal and event-driven demand patterns — cruise ship arrivals, football fixtures, city-centre events — that create uneven cash flow and periodic needs for short-term cover against fixed obligations.
Credit Corp does not lend against a postcode — the decision is identical wherever your company trades. A limited company in the waterfront, the city centre, or the outer commercial estates is assessed on exactly the same basis, with location carrying no weight in the credit decision.

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
Can any Southampton business apply, or are there restrictions on who is eligible?
Credit Corp lends only to UK incorporated limited companies and LLPs. Sole traders, general partnerships, and consumers cannot apply. Your company's Southampton location is not a factor in the credit decision — assessment is based entirely on the company's financial profile.
Do Southampton company directors need to provide a personal guarantee?
No personal guarantee is required. Credit Corp extends credit to the incorporated company only, and no director or officer of the company takes on personal liability under the facility.
How long does a decision take for a Southampton limited company?
Credit Corp aims to deliver a decision on the same working day an application is submitted. There is no branch network or manual underwriting queue — applications are assessed promptly and funds are paid directly to the company account on approval.
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.
