Short-term lending for IT, software and technology businesses
IT consultancies, software firms, SaaS businesses, dev studios and managed-service providers front software licences, cloud bills and contractor day-rates long before enterprise clients settle on 30 to 60 day terms. Credit Corp bridges that billing gap for UK incorporated IT and software companies — no personal guarantee, decisions most working days.

Recognise ony o thir?
A software or cloud licence renewal falling due before the client work it supports is invoiced and paid
A contractor or freelance developer to bring on for a project before the extra revenue clears
A reliable enterprise client paying on 60-day procurement terms while your own costs run monthly
A single late invoice from one big client leaving a short, defined gap before payroll or a renewal
If so, a Credit Corp short-term business loan could help you bridge that gap.
Whilk product fits?
Credicorp Flex Recommendit for this sector
Technology cash-flow gaps tend to repeat — licence and cloud renewals, contractor day-rates and ad spend recur project after project while enterprise clients pay on long terms, so a revolving facility usually fits better than a single advance. Credicorp Flex gives a limit of £50–£500 you can draw against when a renewal or contractor falls due, repay as each client invoice settles, and redraw for the next cycle — without reapplying. When a need is genuinely one-off — bridging a single late enterprise invoice — a fixed-term loan over 14–84 days is the simpler alternative.
When the need is one specific bill — an annual software or cloud licence renewal, a contractor invoice or a single tooling purchase — Credicorp Slice spreads that one 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. 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 an IT consultancy or software company apply for a Credit Corp business loan?
Yes. Credit Corp lends to UK incorporated limited companies and LLPs in technology — IT consultancies, software firms, SaaS businesses, dev studios and managed-service providers. Client type and recurring revenue mix are not pricing factors.
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.
