Dundee's growing creative, life-sciences and professional-services economy means incorporated companies here often carry short receivables gaps between contract delivery and payment — no personal guarantee, same-day decisions. £50–£500 over 14–84 days.

Lending to businesses in your city
Dundee has undergone a well-documented commercial transformation, with life sciences and the biomedical sector established around the university research institutions, a digital and creative industries cluster that has grown since the city's emergence as a games development hub, and ongoing regeneration along the waterfront. Incorporated companies in these sectors typically deal with milestone or grant-adjacent payment cycles that are structured but slow, and a short-term advance can sit neatly between delivery and settlement.
The city's construction and fit-out activity connected to the waterfront and city-centre regeneration creates demand from specialist contractors and subcontractors who need to bridge materials or labour costs ahead of stage payments. These are temporary, predictable gaps — exactly the type a fixed-term facility handles without the overhead of a revolving credit line.
Retail and hospitality businesses in the Murraygate, Overgate and wider city centre also operate on tight working-capital cycles, particularly in the run-up to seasonal peaks or when a supplier requires upfront payment for stock. For a limited company in this position, a short-term loan with a defined repayment date is often more appropriate than drawing on an overdraft or waiting for debtor receipts.
Credit Corp does not lend against a postcode — the decision is identical wherever your company trades. A limited company incorporated in Dundee, whether based in the city centre, the technology park or an outlying business estate, is assessed on exactly the same criteria as a company anywhere else in the UK, and location does not affect the rate or terms.

Which Dundee businesses are eligible to apply for a Credit Corp loan?
Credit Corp lends to UK incorporated limited companies and LLPs, including those registered in or trading from Dundee. Sole traders, general partnerships and private individuals cannot apply. Being based in Dundee is not a pricing factor — the underwriting decision and rate are the same regardless of where in the UK your company operates.
Do directors of a Dundee company need to give a personal guarantee?
No. Credit Corp's lending is extended to the company, not its directors. No personal guarantee is required and directors have no personal liability for the facility.
How quickly will a Dundee limited company receive a credit decision?
Credit Corp aims to return a credit decision on the same working day. Approved applicants typically receive funds the same day or the following working day depending on when the application is submitted and bank processing times.
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.
