Plain-English guides

Learn how the
lending works.

Short, jargon-free explainers for the directors of UK companies — what each product is, how it is priced, what "no personal guarantee" really means, and how a lender decides you can afford to repay. On every product, the company borrows, never you personally.

Creditcorp is the growing name for the Credicorp group, and Credicorp Limited is the lender behind it. It does one thing: short-term working capital for incorporated UK businesses.

These guides are here to explain that lending plainly, before you go anywhere near an application. Each one takes a single idea — a product, a piece of jargon, a step in the process — and sets it out in everyday language, with the exact published terms where they matter. They are a companion to the products page and the industry guides: where those describe what the products are and who they suit, these explain how they actually work.

Throughout, the borrower is the company — a UK private limited company (Ltd), LLP or PLC — not the director who signs. No personal guarantee, no charge over a home and no personal credit check on a director. These are not personal loans, payday loans or sole-trader finance. When you are ready, applying happens on the lender's own site, credicorp.co.uk.

Where to go next

If a guide has answered your question, the next step is the lender's own site. Applying, drawing down and managing an account all happen on credicorp.co.uk; this site never takes applications. To understand why this lending sits outside the consumer-credit regime, see lending and regulation. The deeper group, company and trade-mark story lives on the group site, creditcorpgroup.co.uk.
