Food and drink producers — craft bakers, brewers, distillers, roasters, preserve makers and small-batch manufacturers — pay for ingredients, packaging and a production run long before the wholesale or retail invoice is settled. Credicorp bridges that working-capital gap for UK incorporated food and drink production businesses — no personal guarantee, same-day decisions.

An aithnich thu gin dhiubh seo?
- Ingredients and packaging to buy upfront before a production run can ship
- A seasonal run — Christmas hampers, summer drinks, a festival order — needing a large outlay all at once
- A stockist or wholesaler paying on 30 to 60 day terms while your suppliers want paying now
- An oven, fermenter, still or packing line failing and halting production mid-batch
If so, a Credicorp short-term business loan could help you bridge that gap.

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 food or drink producer apply for a Credicorp business loan?
- Yes. Credicorp lends to UK incorporated limited companies and LLPs in food and drink production — craft bakers, brewers, distillers, roasters and small-batch manufacturers. Production volume and route to market 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.
