Credicorp

Short-term lending for food and drink producers

Food and drink producers — craft bakers, brewers, distillers, roasters, preserve makers and small-batch manufacturers — pay for ingredients, packaging and a production run long before the wholesale or retail invoice is settled. Credicorp bridges that working-capital gap for UK incorporated food and drink production businesses — no personal guarantee, same-day decisions.

Yn adnabod unrhyw un o'r rhain?

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

  • Ingredients and packaging to buy upfront before a production run can ship
  • A seasonal run — Christmas hampers, summer drinks, a festival order — needing a large outlay all at once
  • A stockist or wholesaler paying on 30 to 60 day terms while your suppliers want paying now
  • An oven, fermenter, still or packing line failing and halting production mid-batch

Pa gynnyrch sy'n addas?

For a food or drink producer the gap is the lag between paying for ingredients, packaging and a production run now and being paid on the wholesale or retail invoice later. A fixed-term Credicorp loan covers that defined run at a total cost you know from the outset.

When the need is one specific bill — an ingredients order, a packaging run or an equipment service — Credicorp Slice spreads that single 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. There is no personal guarantee; lending is to the company.

Cwestiynau cyffredin

Can a food or drink producer apply for a Credicorp business loan?

Yes. Credicorp lends to UK incorporated limited companies and LLPs in food and drink production — craft bakers, brewers, distillers, roasters and small-batch manufacturers. Production volume and route to market are not pricing factors.

Do companies in this sector need to provide a personal guarantee?

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?

Applications are reviewed as they arrive during business hours. Credicorp aims to make a credit decision the same working day in most cases. Once approved, funds typically reach your company account the same day.
