Yes. Pop-up retail events and temporary trading spaces require deposits, fit-out spend, stock, and marketing to land in a compressed period before trading opens. Short-term finance covers those upfront costs so your company can commit to the opportunity without running down its reserves.
Why pop-ups suit short-term lending
The economics of a pop-up are unusually clear: you know when it opens, roughly how long it trades, and when income will arrive. That makes it straightforward to size a Credicorp Business Loan against the setup cost and structure repayments to follow the trading window. You borrow for the build, trade during the event, and repay from the revenue it generates.
Costs typically funded
- Venue deposit and licence or concession fee
- Temporary fit-out, signage, and display fixtures
- Stock for the event period
- Staffing for the trading window
- Event marketing, social advertising, and PR
- Logistics and returns handling
Credicorp Slice for supplier bills
If a single large supplier invoice — a fit-out contractor or a venue operator — is the main pressure point, Credicorp Slice spreads that specific bill over three or four weekly instalments at a flat 6% fee. It does not require drawing down a full loan facility, which keeps things simple when the rest of the costs are already covered.
We lend only to UK limited companies and LLPs, and the loan is to the company with no director personal guarantee. As business finance outside the consumer-credit regime, it is not covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service or FSCS.
