Hi, I am wondering whether anyone could possibly help me.....I am four and a half years into my IVA, and I have been offered a small business opportunity (Franchise!)
Trouble is...I need a business account to start it up and so far I have been declined (I admit, I have only tried HSBC so far!) at the credit search level.
I am just wondering whether anyone knows of a way round this?
I just need a basic no frills business account with no overdraft/credit facilities!!
Thank you

Thank you Helen, I have actually been registered with this forum for a while but I can't for the life of me remember my name or password!! so I just re-registered.... dementia setting in I reckon.

Hi my daughter was bankrupt but ran her own business before hand and she banked with Nat West. They allowed her to keep the account but not as a director so she was just a signature Now she has been discharges and once again a director she has full privileges restored.

Hi
Try Alliance and Leicester.
Regards

Thanks for all the replies, Andy...when I contact A&L should I mention that I have an IVA or just keep quiet about it? Thank you
