Business with Bankruptcy

Hi guys, wondered if anyone could offer me some help?

I am starting an ironing business and I have a few customers lined up already. the thing is i want to do the ironing at my mum's house as it is bigger and she is going to help out too. the thing is my stepdad (who lives with my mum) has made himself bankrupt so i think this means the address cannot have a business? am i right? can i register the insurance at their address or would i register it at my own? if at my own are items still covered even though they are ironed at my mum's? thanks for any help, maybe there is a better thread to ask?? help appreciated!

have been over on the ironing business thread and they suggested i come over here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me...

    Yes you can run a business from that address and have it insured there. The BR is personal to your stepdad and not the address.

    All the best with it, hope it is sucessful.

    I think they will have to tell the council that you are running a business from there, but an anonymous, what if enquiry to the council will let you know for sure.
