Question about IPA

I was made bankrupt on 8th July and am currently unemployed so don't have an IPA, if I don't manage to get a job while undischarged can they still start an IPA after discharge?

What I mean is if I start to earn money after discharge could an IPA start after that?

Thank you

    No, they must obtain the IPA/IPO prior to discharge
