Forming a limited company after bankruptcy

I'm still deciding whether to go for the BR option or the IVA and I'm a bit confused about the restrictions imposed by BR and how long do the effects last.

I'm an IT professional and although I work as a permanent employee at the moment, I want to work on a contract basis in the future. There are 2 ways of doing this, and one of them (the more cost effective) is to setup a limited company.

Is this possible for someone who has filed bankruptcy in the past?

I know there may be restrictions during the bankruptcy, but how about after discharge?

Thanks in advance

    If you are not subject to a BRO order (which is where your BR restrictions are in place for a period of years) then you can do whatever you like after your BR has been discharged which is normally a year or less.
  • You can use an umbrella company. This is legal as they have the contract with the cleint and you are an employee of the umbrella company on PAYE
