Short-term lending for travel agents, tour operators and tourism companies

Travel agents, tour operators, guest houses, activity companies and visitor attractions front supplier payments, pre-season marketing and equipment costs months before peak-season bookings convert to income. Credicorp provides short-term lending to UK incorporated travel and tourism businesses — no personal guarantee, same-day decisions.

UK Ltd or LLP only · No personal guarantee · Decisions most working days

Recognise any of these?

  • Advance accommodation, transport or activity supplier deposits due months before peak-season bookings complete
  • Pre-season marketing, website updates or photography costs falling before the booking window opens
  • Equipment purchase or maintenance — minibuses, boats, quad bikes — needed before the summer season
  • A quiet off-season leaving a defined gap before spring bookings and deposits begin to arrive

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

Which product fits?

  • Bills of £50–£2,000
  • Flat 6% fee — no 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. We lend to the company, so no director signs a personal guarantee.

Who can apply?

  • UK limited company or LLP (body-corporate lending only — not sole traders)
  • 6+ months trading
  • Current UK business bank account
  • Director identity check (you, not the company, as the company's authorised representative)
  • No personal guarantee required — the obligation is the company's

Guides for your business

No personal guarantee business loans: what it really means

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.

Common questions

Can a travel agent, tour operator or guest house apply for a Credicorp business loan?
Yes. Credicorp lends to UK incorporated limited companies and LLPs in travel and tourism — travel agencies, tour operators, guest houses, activity providers and visitor attractions. Seasonality and ATOL/ABTA membership status are not pricing factors.
Do travel and tourism companies 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.
