Wholesalers and distributors pay suppliers on short terms but sell to trade customers on 30 to 60 day terms — a structural working-capital gap that widens every time volume grows. Credicorp funds that gap for UK incorporated wholesale and distribution businesses — no personal guarantee, decisions most working days.

Yn adnabod unrhyw un o'r rhain?
- A bulk stock buy that has to clear before your trade customers settle their accounts
- An importer or supplier demanding payment before your own buyers pay you
- A seasonal volume spike that needs extra inventory on the shelf right now
- A slow-paying trade account leaving you short for your next supplier run
If so, a Credicorp short-term business loan could help you bridge that gap.
Pa gynnyrch sy'n addas?
Credicorp Flex Argymhellir ar gyfer y sector hwn
Wholesale buying repeats on a steady cycle, so a revolving facility fits better than a single advance. Credicorp Flex gives a limit of £50–£500 you can draw against for each purchase order, repay as your trade customers settle, and redraw for the next cycle — no reapplying. When a need is genuinely one-off, a fixed-term loan over 14–84 days is the simpler alternative.
- Terfyn cylchdroi o £50–£500
- Tynnu, ad-dalu, ail-dynnu — heb ailymgeisio
- Cymeradwyo terfyn yr un diwrnod; tynnu ar unwaith wedi hynny
- Cyfanswm cost wedi'i gapio ar 100% o'r hyn rydych yn ei dynnu
- Dim gwarant bersonol

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 a wholesale or distribution company apply for a Credicorp business loan?
- Yes. Credicorp lends to UK incorporated limited companies and LLPs in wholesale and distribution — importers, distributors and B2B traders supplying trade customers. Product category and territory 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?
- 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.
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). This is not consumer lending. The Financial Ombudsman Service and Financial Services Compensation Scheme do not apply. Full details: regulatory status and responsible lending policy.
