Suppliers often reward volume. If buying a larger quantity drops your unit cost, the saving can be real money — but only if you can fund the bigger order without starving the rest of the business of cash. Borrowing to capture a bulk discount is a legitimate use of a Credicorp loan, provided the maths works in your favour.
The simple test
Compare the total saving from the discount against the total cost of the funding over your agreed term, at the rate shown in your offer. If the saving comfortably exceeds the cost of borrowing, the deal stacks up. If it is marginal, the risk of slow-moving stock may outweigh the benefit.
Things that quietly erode the saving
- Stock that sells slower than expected, tying up cash you have paid to borrow.
- Extra storage, insurance, or handling for the larger volume.
- Wastage, obsolescence, or shrinkage on perishable or fast-moving lines.
Who we lend to
Credicorp lends only to UK limited companies and LLPs for business purposes. The loan is to the company and we do not take personal guarantees from directors. Credicorp Flex and Credicorp Slice can both fund a one-off bulk buy; choose the one that matches how you want to repay.
As an exempt business lender, Credicorp is outside the FCA consumer-credit regime, so the Financial Ombudsman Service and FSCS protection do not apply.
