Plumbers, electricians, builders and other trades invoice after the job — but materials need paying before you start. We bridge that gap for UK incorporated trade businesses.
UK Ltd or LLP only · No personal guarantee · Decisions most working days
If so, a Credicorp short-term business loan could help you bridge that gap.
Trades cash flow is driven by the gap between buying materials and receiving payment. A fixed-term loan covers that specific gap at a known total cost.
If you have a specific trade supplier invoice to pay — materials, tools, plant hire — Credicorp Slice lets you spread it over 3 or 4 instalments at a flat fee.

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. We lend to the company, so no director signs a personal guarantee.
Interest can be quoted as a daily rate, a monthly rate or an APR — and the same loan can look very different depending on which you read. This guide explains how business loan interest is actually calculated so you can compare offers on a like-for-like basis.
Read guide →Secured loans are backed by an asset; unsecured loans are not. That single difference changes the rate, the speed, the amount, and the risk. This guide explains how each works and when each makes sense for a UK business.
Read guide →A personal guarantee makes a company director personally liable for a business debt — so if the company cannot repay, the lender can pursue the director's own assets. Lending without one keeps the borrowing where it belongs: with the company. This guide explains what a personal guarantee is, why it matters, and what no-personal-guarantee lending changes for UK directors.
Read guide →Credicorp lends to UK limited companies and LLPs under the body-corporate exemption (Articles 60B and 60L of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001), which places the facility outside the consumer-credit regime. The Financial Ombudsman Service and Financial Services Compensation Scheme do not apply. Full details: regulatory status and responsible lending policy.
