Lending to businesses in your city
Northampton's position at the heart of the "golden triangle" of UK logistics has made distribution and warehousing a major part of its economy, alongside a long-standing footwear and leather-goods manufacturing heritage that still supports specialist makers and their supply chains. Incorporated logistics and distribution companies routinely fund fuel, labour and warehouse capacity ahead of client settlement on 30- to 60-day terms.
The town also carries a genuine light-manufacturing and trade base beyond footwear — engineering, print and general manufacturing firms that buy materials and run a job before the customer invoice is settled.
A distribution firm funding a peak-season labour surge, or a manufacturer buying materials for a confirmed order, both face the same working-capital gap — a short, fixed-term loan closes it cleanly.
Credicorp does not lend against a postcode — the decision is identical wherever your company trades. A limited company registered in Northampton town centre or the wider Northamptonshire area is assessed on exactly the same basis as anywhere else in the UK, with no personal guarantee.

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.

Do Northampton businesses need to provide a personal guarantee?
No. Credicorp lends to the company itself — there is no personal guarantee and no personal liability for directors.
How quickly can a Northampton business get a lending decision?
Applications are reviewed as they arrive during business hours and we aim to make a credit decision the same working day.
