Why it costs before it earns
A serious e-commerce build — platform, design, integration — costs money before it drives a single online sale. The value is real, but it arrives after the outlay — a classic cash-timing gap.
How to fund it
A working-capital facility funds a website and e-commerce build, repaid from the revenue or savings it generates once the new channel is generating sales.
Check the payback stacks up on the return-on-borrowing calculator before you commit.
Fund a real plan
Back a clear plan with a genuine return, not a hopeful one. Finance amplifies a sound investment; it can't rescue a vague one.
What it means for you
Credicorp lends to your company, not to you personally, and takes no personal guarantee. See business loans or apply online when the numbers work.

Is website build worth borrowing for?
When the investment delivers a clear return — new revenue, capacity or savings — that beats the finance cost, yes. Model the payback and back a real plan, not a punt.
