Payroll is the one cost a business cannot defer. Staff plan their own lives around payday, and a missed or late run does lasting damage to morale and retention. When a large customer pays late or a project milestone slips, an otherwise healthy company can find itself briefly short of the cash it needs to run payroll. A Credicorp facility can cover that gap.
A bridge, not a crutch
Borrowing for payroll is appropriate when the shortfall is a timing problem — the money is coming, just not yet. It is not a fix for a wage bill the business cannot afford. Be honest with yourself about which situation you are in.
How it works
- You apply as a limited company or LLP for a genuine business purpose.
- If approved, you draw funds and run payroll as normal.
- You repay over the term and rate set out in your offer document.
Key points
The facility is to the company, and we do not take personal guarantees from directors. Because Credicorp lends outside the FCA consumer-credit regime, the Financial Ombudsman Service and FSCS protections do not apply. Compare Credicorp Flex and Credicorp Slice to find the repayment pattern that matches your billing cycle. You can read more about payroll finance and how it bridges a delayed receipts gap.
