Plymouth's incorporated companies serve one of the UK's most distinctive trading environments — maritime industry, defence supply chains, and a regenerating city centre — where the timing of contract receipts rarely matches the timing of operating costs; Credit Corp provides fast, fixed-term credit to the company itself, no personal guarantee, same-day decisions. £50–£500 over 14–84 days.

Lending to businesses in your city
Plymouth's economy is shaped by its deep connection to maritime industry, naval defence, and the supply chains that serve Devonport Dockyard — one of the largest naval bases in Western Europe. Incorporated companies providing engineering, logistics, professional services, or facilities management to defence and maritime clients frequently operate under long payment terms set by public-sector procurement frameworks. That gap between work delivered and payment received is exactly the environment a short fixed-term business loan is designed to bridge.
Beyond its maritime heritage, Plymouth has an active construction and property development scene tied to ongoing city-centre regeneration. Incorporated contractors and specialist subcontractors working on commercial and mixed-use schemes face the standard construction cash-flow challenge: materials and labour costs fall before stage-payment milestones are certified and paid. A short fixed-term loan that clears on payment arrival is a clean, predictable solution.
Plymouth also has a growing cluster of creative, digital, and marine-technology businesses, many of them spun out of the University of Plymouth. These incorporated companies often operate on project revenue that arrives in uneven tranches, with operational costs running continuously. Credit Corp's Slice product can spread a single invoice or equipment cost over three to four weekly instalments at a flat 6% fee, giving project-based companies a structured way to smooth that unevenness.
Credit Corp does not lend against a postcode — the decision is identical wherever your company trades. A Plymouth limited company with a registered office in the city centre, Devonport, Derriford, or anywhere else in Devon is assessed on exactly the same basis as any other UK incorporated entity. Location plays no role in pricing or approval.

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.

Which Plymouth businesses are eligible to borrow from Credit Corp?
Credit Corp lends to UK limited companies and LLPs, not to individuals or sole traders. Sole traders, partnerships, and consumers are not eligible. Being based in Plymouth or Devon has no bearing on the decision — eligibility is assessed on the company's own financial standing, not its postcode.
Is a personal guarantee required for a Plymouth limited company?
No. Credit Corp lends to the company as a legal entity. There is no personal guarantee, and directors and members carry no personal liability for the facility at any point.
How quickly will a Plymouth company receive a credit decision?
Credit Corp aims to deliver a decision on the same working day the application is submitted. The process is entirely online — there is no branch, no paper process, and no requirement to attend any local office.
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.
