Credicorp

Short-term lending for garages and automotive businesses

MOT centres, repair garages and automotive businesses buy parts upfront and wait for the job to be paid. When a customer invoice is weeks away or a tool fails, Credicorp bridges the gap for UK incorporated automotive businesses.

Recognise ony o thir?

If so, a Credicorp short-term business loan could help you bridge that gap.

  • Parts to buy upfront for a repair the customer pays for on collection
  • A diagnostic tool or ramp failing and stopping work until it is fixed
  • A trade or fleet customer paying monthly while your suppliers want paying now
  • Stocking up on consumables before a seasonal MOT or service rush

Whilk product fits?

Automotive cash-flow gaps are usually the gap between buying parts now and being paid for the job shortly after. A fixed-term loan covers that specific gap at a known total cost.

For one specific bill — a parts order or an equipment service invoice — Credicorp Slice spreads it over 3 or 4 weekly instalments at a flat 6% fee with no interest compounding.

No. All Credicorp 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 Credicorp?
