Tie up credit frequently for ceramics factory (9)

I believe the answer is:

moorcroft

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ceramics factory' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'tie up credit frequently' is the wordplay.
'tie up' becomes 'moor' (as in mooring a boat).
'credit' becomes 'cr' (abbreviation).
'frequently' becomes 'oft' (oft can mean frequently, eg oft-quoted).
'moor'+'cr'+'oft'='MOORCROFT'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
