Cant get a loan! help!

I am starting my own business as a cleaner and a car is essential.
I have found a car, and over the weekend found out that i was turned down for the finance as they need to see past 3 months bank statements!

the only problem is i have not had a regular income for the past 3 months because i have been trying to prepare for the business (going on courses etc) basically I have had no income over the past 3 months.

Im in a catch 22 situation...i cant start the business without the car and i cant get the car until i have had a regular income!

any suggestions??

thanks in advance

I have now realised earning more money won't make me richer but clearing my debts will!!

    Make an appointment to speak to your Bank Manager.
    Take your business plan to him and discuss a loan there and then.
    They are very helpful.

    If you have a business plan etc for your new company then you could look to get a business start up loan for the vehicle.
