Business credit and consumer credit are different regimes

Who is protected by what: a short map of the UK regimes a borrower might assume apply, and which ones actually do for company borrowing.

Consumer credit in the UK carries a specific statutory apparatus: FCA authorisation, the Consumer Credit Act's form and content rules, FOS access and FSCS coverage where relevant. It exists because individual borrowers get statutory protection.

Company borrowing is a commercial contract between businesses. The protections are the ones the contract states and the general law provides — which is why the group publishes its cost cap, its no-personal-guarantee position and its complaints route in plain terms rather than implying a regime that does not apply.

The group's full regulatory statement is kept on creditcorpgroup.co.uk, and the lender's binding terms live in its legal library on credicorp.co.uk.
