Common speirins

Can a retail limited company apply for a Credicorp business loan?

Yes. Credicorp lends to UK incorporated limited companies and LLPs in retail — shops, stockists, market traders and online retailers. The retail sector is not a pricing factor.

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.
