Portsmouth's commercial identity is shaped by its long association with the defence and maritime sectors. The city is home to a significant cluster of incorporated businesses serving the naval base and its extensive supply chain — from specialist engineering and electronics firms to professional service providers working on MOD contracts. Companies in this environment routinely carry invoice gaps of several weeks between delivering work and receiving settlement, making short-term bridge finance a functional part of cash management.
Technology and digital businesses have grown as a meaningful strand of Portsmouth's economy alongside the traditional defence cluster. Incorporated companies in software, managed services, and consultancy frequently operate on retainer or project cycles with client payment terms that do not align with monthly fixed costs — staff, infrastructure, professional subscriptions. A short, fixed-term facility covers that gap without committing the company to a revolving credit arrangement it does not need.
Portsmouth's retail and hospitality sectors serve a city with substantial resident population, tourist footfall through the Historic Dockyard, and a ferry terminal generating consistent transient trade. Incorporated businesses in these sectors face familiar timing pressures — stock purchasing ahead of peak periods, early payment demands from suppliers — that a defined short-term loan handles cleanly.
Credit Corp does not lend against a postcode — the decision is identical wherever your company trades. A limited company based in Southsea, the commercial waterfront, or the outer city is assessed on the same criteria as any other applicant, with no pricing adjustment or eligibility difference based on location.
Portsmouth companies with predictable but misaligned payment cycles benefit from a fixed-term loan that closes the gap cleanly — borrow for a defined period, repay, and the obligation ends with no revolving line left open. The facility runs to the company, with no personal guarantee from directors.
Credicorp Slice allows your limited company to split a single maintenance, supplier, or subcontractor invoice into three or four weekly instalments at a flat 6% fee, keeping cash flow steady without disrupting your company's operating position.

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.
Credit Corp lends to UK limited companies and LLPs, not to individuals or sole traders. Sole traders, partnerships, and private individuals are not eligible to apply. Portsmouth's location has no bearing on the outcome — every application is assessed on the company's own financial standing, regardless of where it trades.
No. Credit Corp does not take personal guarantees. The loan is made to the incorporated company, and directors incur no personal liability in connection with the facility.
Credit Corp issues decisions on the same working day in the vast majority of cases. Applications are assessed directly against the company's profile — there is no manual queue or branch review — and approved funds are transferred to the company account promptly.
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.
