Business loans in Manchester for limited companies — Credit Corp

What this page is

Credit Corp Group Limited is an independent UK direct lender of short-term business credit. This is a city guide for Manchester: how we lend to limited companies and LLPs trading in and around Manchester, the cash-flow timing gaps we see across the area, and which product tends to fit. We are the lender, not a broker or a marketplace, and we lend our own funds.

We lend to the company itself. There is no personal guarantee, and your directors do not take on personal liability for the borrowing. We do not lend to consumers or to sole traders. Decisions are AI-assisted and typically confirmed within an hour during working hours, with same-day funding once you accept the offer.

A note on who we are: Credit Corp Group Limited is registered in England & Wales, Company No. 17338274, ICO registration ZC189608. We lend to UK limited companies and LLPs, not to individuals or sole traders. This lending is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

The Manchester businesses we see

Manchester is one of the UK's most commercially active cities outside London, with a dense mix of professional services, creative and media agencies, tech firms, logistics operators and hospitality businesses all trading under incorporated structures. The pace of commercial activity means cash-flow timing gaps arrive quickly and need resolving equally quickly — a supplier invoice due before a client settles, or a subcontractor who needs paying before the month-end sweep.

The city's ongoing regeneration across districts such as Ancoats, Spinningfields and the Northern Quarter has drawn a wave of new incorporated businesses alongside established operators. Growth phases routinely compress working capital: fit-out costs, early payroll runs and pre-launch stock orders often land before revenue is flowing, making short-duration credit a practical bridge rather than a long-term commitment.

Late payment is a structural feature of trading in a large commercial centre. Larger corporate clients and public-sector bodies in Greater Manchester frequently settle on 45- to 60-day terms, while a limited company's own obligations arrive on the standard 30-day cycle. That mismatch is precisely the gap a fixed-term Credit Corp loan is built to close.

Credit Corp does not lend against a postcode — the decision is identical wherever your company trades. Whether your registered office is in the city centre, Salford, Trafford or further into the Greater Manchester boroughs, the credit assessment is based entirely on your company's position, not its location.

How Credit Corp fits a Manchester business

Most Manchester businesses approach us for a fixed sum, fast, to bridge a known, time-bound gap until a known payment lands. The matching product depends on the shape of the need:

Business Loan — a short-term, unsecured loan: one fixed amount over one fixed, short term, then done. Best when you know the sum and the period — a supplier bill, a payroll run, a deposit — with no revolving trap and a known total cost. /business-loans/
Credicorp Flex — a revolving credit facility you can draw, repay and redraw against a limit. Best for the recurring, hard-to-predict gaps without reapplying each time. /business-credit-facility/
Credicorp Slice — spread the cost of one specific bill — a quarterly rent demand, a software or licence renewal, a single large supplier invoice — over a few instalments at a single flat fee, with no interest compounding. /credicorp-slice/

We keep the figures in one place so there is a single source of truth, and do not restate them here.

Eligibility

A UK-registered limited company or LLP trading in Manchester (or anywhere in the UK).
The business has been trading for at least 6 months.
A UK business bank account.
No personal guarantee required from directors.

We do not lend to sole traders or to individuals. If your Manchester business is incorporated as a limited company or an LLP and meets the published eligibility criteria, you can apply. Applying, the customer portal and the app are UK-only; the rest of the site — this guide and our wider content — is open to everyone.

Common questions

Does my Manchester company have to be incorporated to apply? Yes. Credit Corp lends to UK limited companies and LLPs, not to individuals or sole traders. Sole traders, partnerships and consumers are not eligible, regardless of where they are based. If your business is not yet incorporated, you would need to complete that step first.

Is there a personal guarantee requirement for a Manchester-based director? No. Credit Corp requires no personal guarantee from any director. The loan is made to the company and the company alone — no director or shareholder carries personal liability for it.

How quickly can a Manchester limited company get a decision? Decisions are made on the same working day for applications received during business hours. There is no extended underwriting queue — Credit Corp assesses the company's position directly and responds the same day.

Responsible borrowing

Because short-term business credit carries a high annualised cost, borrow only what you need and for the shortest term required. Match the term to a date you can realistically be paid — an invoice that clears, a contract that settles — and avoid stacking new borrowing on top of old. Paying early reduces the total cost, since you only pay interest for the days you borrow. If repayment becomes difficult, contact us early at /help/. Support for vulnerable customers is at /legal/vulnerability/.
