Answer

A grant or funding I was promised has been delayed — how do I bridge it?

A delayed grant or claim leaves committed costs unfunded; a short facility bridges the wait and clears when the money lands, so the project doesn't stall.

The promised-but-not-paid gap

Grants, R&D tax credits and promised funding often arrive later than planned, but the spending they were meant to cover is already committed. That mismatch is a classic cash gap.

Bridge it cleanly

A short working-capital facility covers the committed cost now and is repaid when the funding lands. Because Credicorp lends to the company, you keep the project moving.

Don't stall momentum

Pausing a project to wait for delayed money can cost more than the bridge — lost time, idle staff, missed windows. Finance keeps momentum while the paperwork catches up.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bridge a delayed grant with a loan?

Yes. A short working-capital facility covers committed spending while a grant, R&D credit or promised funding is delayed, and is repaid when the money arrives.

Is it worth bridging rather than waiting?

Usually, if waiting stalls the project. The cost of lost momentum — idle staff, missed opportunities — often exceeds the modest cost of a short bridge.
