Bristol is the commercial heart of the South West — a dense, fast-moving mix of tech and digital firms, creative studios, professional services, independent retail and hospitality. Credit Corp offers short-term lending to UK incorporated businesses trading in and around Bristol — limited companies and LLPs, no personal guarantee, decisions most working days. £50–£500 over 14–84 days.

Bristol carries one of the broadest and most modern business bases in the country. A large tech, digital and creative cluster sits around Temple Quarter, the harbourside and the studios of the city centre; aerospace, engineering and high-end manufacturing run through the northern fringe and Aztec West; and a deep professional, financial and legal sector serves the wider South West from the centre and Clifton. Add two universities, a celebrated independent retail scene around Stokes Croft, Gloucester Road and the old city, and a busy hospitality and events calendar, and you have an economy where cash-flow timing varies enormously from one company to the next.
Whatever the trade, the timing problem is the same one we see everywhere: the money goes out before it comes in. A digital agency or studio fronts a project — salaries, contractors, software, media spend — before the client invoice settles on long terms. A maker or light manufacturer buys materials ahead of a finished-goods invoice. An independent retailer on Gloucester Road stocks up before a seasonal peak, and a harbourside bar or restaurant pays suppliers and staff ahead of an event weekend that only reaches the account days later. A short, well-judged loan can bridge a defined gap of that kind until known income arrives.
Credit Corp does not lend against a postcode — a Bristol base is not a pricing factor, and the decision is the same wherever your company is registered in the UK — but the same short-term, fixed-cost lending suits the rhythm of a great many businesses trading across the city and the wider region, from the centre, Temple Quarter and the harbourside to Clifton, Bedminster, Filton and the commuter belt towards Bath and the M4. Credit Corp is the lender, not a broker, and we lend to the company itself: there is no personal guarantee and your directors take on no personal liability. We do not lend to sole traders or to individuals — if your Bristol business is incorporated as a limited company or LLP and meets the published eligibility criteria, you can apply.
Most Bristol businesses come to us for a fixed sum to bridge a specific, short gap — a project cost, a payroll run, a materials order or a supplier bill — until a known client or contracted payment lands. A fixed-term Credit Corp business loan covers that defined gap at a total cost you know from the outset, with no revolving trap and no personal guarantee.
If the need is one specific bill — a software or licence renewal, a single large supplier invoice or an equipment service — Credicorp Slice spreads that single bill over 3 or 4 weekly instalments at a flat 6% fee with no interest compounding.

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.
Yes. Credit Corp lends to UK limited companies and LLPs, wherever in the UK they are based or trade. A Bristol address is not a pricing factor. Eligibility is based on your company's financial position and incorporation status, not its postcode. Sole traders, partnerships and consumers are not eligible.
No. Credit Corp lends to the company itself — there is no personal guarantee and no personal liability for directors. If the company cannot repay, the claim sits with the company, not with individual directors.
Applications are reviewed as they arrive during business hours and we aim to make a credit decision the same working day. If approved, funds are typically sent to the company's business bank account by the end of the same working day or the next business day.
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.
Read the guide →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.
Read the guide →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.
Read the guide →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. Full details: regulatory status and responsible lending policy.
