Credicorp

Short-term lending for events and catering businesses

Caterers, event planners and function specialists pay for food, hire and staff weeks before a wedding, festival or corporate booking finally settles. Credicorp covers that upfront outlay for UK incorporated events and catering businesses — no personal guarantee, same-day decisions.

Recognise ony o thir?

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

  • Food, hire and staff to pay for before a big function settles
  • A deposit-then-balance booking that leaves you out of pocket in the meantime
  • Seasonal wedding or festival peaks that need upfront outlay all at once
  • Equipment or marquee hire falling due before the client has paid in full

Whilk product fits?

An events booking is a known sum spent now against income that arrives on or just after the event date. A fixed-term loan matches that exact window and fixes the total cost before you commit to a supplier or a crew.

When the need is one specific supplier or hire invoice — a catering wholesale order or a marquee and equipment hire bill — 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.

Can an events or catering company apply for a Credicorp business loan?

Yes. Credicorp lends to UK incorporated limited companies and LLPs in events and catering — caterers, event planners, marquee hire firms and function specialists. Event type and scale 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?
