Answer

Does a business loan affect my personal credit score?

A limited-company loan generally does not affect your personal credit score unless you gave a personal guarantee that is later enforced. Company debt stays on the company’s file by default.

Company borrowing stays on the company

A loan to your limited company reports to the company’s credit profile at the business bureaux, not your personal file. Your personal score is separate and normally untouched.

The bridge to your personal score is a personal guarantee. While the company pays, it stays invisible. If the company defaults and the lender enforces against you, that can hit your personal file. No guarantee, no bridge.

What it means for you

Credicorp lends to your company, not to you personally, and takes no personal guarantee. With no personal guarantee, your company’s borrowing never touches your personal credit score. See business loans or apply online.

Frequently asked questions

Does applying for a business loan hurt my personal score?

For a limited company, generally no. The company is assessed, not you. A sole trader is different because there is no separate legal person.

What creates a link to my personal score?

A personal guarantee that is enforced after a company default. Borrowing without one keeps company and personal credit fully separate.
