This is the Creditcorp brand front door at **creditcorp.co.uk** — it never takes applications, prices loans or accepts payments. The operating lender is **Credicorp Limited** at [credicorp.co.uk](https://credicorp.co.uk/); the company/legal detail lives at [creditcorpgroup.co.uk](https://creditcorpgroup.co.uk/). **Canonical URL:** **Last updated:** 22 June 2026 --- ## Who can borrow Credicorp Limited lends **only to bodies corporate** — UK limited companies (Ltd), LLPs and PLCs. The borrower is always the **company**, never the director, an individual or a sole trader. There is no personal guarantee, no charge over a home and no personal credit check on a director. This is exempt business lending, not consumer credit. See [Lending and regulation](https://creditcorpgroup.co.uk/lending-and-regulation/). ## Where events companies hit a cash gap Events and entertainment businesses are paid after the event — costs hit long before: - **Venue and supplier deposits** — deposits go out months in advance of the event date. - **Crew and freelancers** — sound, light, catering and technical crew are paid on or before the event; the client invoice settles on completion. - **Kit hire and purchase** — production equipment hired or bought before the event earns anything. - **Seasonal concentration** — summer outdoor season, Christmas parties and award ceremonies land in a short window; cash must cover a quiet Q1. - **Corporate clients on 30–60 day terms** — the event is done; the invoice sits for two months. - **Touring and travel costs** — pre-paid transport and accommodation for touring shows. ## The finance that tends to fit Three shapes of short-term credit — see [Products](https://creditcorp.co.uk/products/) for detail. - **A single, known cost — Business Bridging Loan.** A fixed lump sum — a venue deposit, a kit purchase, a crew payroll for a specific event. - **An ongoing swing — Credicorp Flex.** A revolving facility to bridge between booking costs and client settlement; draw before the event, repay when the invoice clears. - **One supplier bill to spread — Credicorp Slice.** Settles a single chunky invoice — a kit-hire bill, a logistics invoice — in full today; your company repays over a few weeks for a flat fee. ## The company borrows — not you With Credicorp the agreement is between the lender and your **company**, so: - **No personal guarantee** — the director does not underwrite the debt. - **No charge over your home** — nothing is secured against where you live. - **No personal credit check** on the director's own file. Only bodies corporate — UK limited companies, LLPs and PLCs — are eligible. A sole-trader event planner is not eligible. ## Events & entertainment — common questions **Can a limited-company events business borrow without a personal guarantee?** Yes. Credicorp lends to the company — your UK limited company, LLP or PLC — not to the director who signs. No personal guarantee, no charge over a home, no personal credit check on a director. **Our client pays after the event but we need deposits three months in advance. Can funding cover that gap?** Yes. A Business Bridging Loan covers a defined upfront cost against a known future income, and a Credicorp Flex facility can handle a rolling pattern of deposit-then-settle cycles. **We have a very busy summer and a quiet Q1. Can we use finance to smooth cash flow year-round?** Yes. A revolving Credicorp Flex facility is designed for exactly this — draw during lean months, repay during flush ones, paying interest only on the drawn balance. **Where do we actually apply?** On the operating lender's own site, [credicorp.co.uk](https://credicorp.co.uk/).
