The company is the borrower
Because Credicorp takes no personal guarantee, the loan rests on the company's cash flow, not on how many directors sign. Adding a co-director does not bring extra personal security into a no-guarantee facility.
Where a co-director helps
Two engaged directors can signal sound governance and shared oversight, and having the right people authorise the borrowing satisfies the articles. For a guarantee-based lender, a second guarantor would matter — but that is not how Credicorp lends.
Applying
Ensure the board has authority to borrow, then apply online.
Frequently asked questions
Does a second director make approval more likely?
For a no-personal-guarantee company loan, not materially — the company's cash flow decides it. A co-director adds governance comfort rather than personal security.
Are both directors personally liable if we apply jointly?
Not with Credicorp — no personal guarantee is taken, so neither director is personally liable. The borrowing sits with the company.
