    Possibly both.

    The company as that is who the credit is being granted to and you, either as a director or more likely because they may wish you to give a personal guarantee if its a newly formed company and so has no good credit history.

    Neither? World pay (part of RBS) do not extend credit, and only credit you with cleared funds. They are a card intermediary, and as you do not become a Merchant yourself, your checks will be more identity based than credit related.
