Builders, contractors and subcontractors buy materials and pay labour long before a stage payment or retention is released. Credit Corp bridges that gap for UK incorporated construction businesses — no personal guarantee, same-day decisions.

Materials and plant hire to pay upfront before a stage payment lands

A tool or piece of plant breaking down mid-project and stopping the job

Recommendit for this sector
Construction cash flow is the gap between paying for materials and labour now and being paid for the work later. A fixed-term loan covers that specific gap at a known total cost.
If the need is one specific bill — a materials order, plant hire invoice or equipment service — Credicorp Slice spreads it over 3 or 4 weekly instalments at a flat 6% fee with no 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. We lend to the company, so no director signs a personal guarantee.

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.
Can a construction or contracting company apply for a Credit Corp business loan?
Yes. Credit Corp lends to UK incorporated limited companies and LLPs in construction — builders, contractors, groundworkers and fit-out firms. Whether you work on residential or commercial sites is not a pricing factor.
Do companies in this sector need to provide a personal guarantee?
No. All Credit Corp lending is to the company — the UK limited company or LLP — as the sole obligor. There is no personal guarantee and no personal credit search on any director or shareholder.
How quickly can a company in this sector get a lending decision from Credit Corp?
Applications are reviewed as they arrive during business hours. Credit Corp aims to make a credit decision the same working day in most cases. Once approved, funds typically reach your company account the same day.
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 places the facility outside the
consumer-credit regime. The Financial Ombudsman Service and Financial Services
Compensation Scheme do not apply.
