Ian_m Posts: 3 Newbie
I have made the mistake of trying to get a loan through one of the doggy loan brokers , and have excepted i have been a idiot .
Question is do any of these people ever give out loans ?
my situations is as follows
discharged bankrupt in 2007 ( made in 2006 ) will be off my credit file next year , have one current ccj
self employed
own my own house , with a morgage and 140K equity

And for love or money i cant get a £4k loan any where , i would not mind getting a bussines overdraft and i have even asked my bussiness bank account term , wont do this even if i ask them to secure it on my house ....

I just need some working capitial for my bussiness

Any ideads !!!!!!

Thanks in advance

    err.... You have been made bankrupt, and had a CCJ since your discharge.

    Why would anyone want to lend you money?

    Sell the house, downsize and use your equity to finance yourself.

    I doubt very much you will get any personal credit at the moment.

    The only chance I think you would have would be if you trade through a limited company, perhaps then your company may be able to obtain a loan/business overdraft if you prepare a business plan/ financial projections to explain why you need the money and demonstrate the business can repay it - in that instance you just might get a loan even given your financial circumstance. They'd likely still ask for a directors guarantee as well to back up the funding.

    Yep that might be a option , it will take a while which i dont have , i think i might have to speak to a family member , as i have just won a contract that i need money for .

    thanks for the advise !

    if the family member has cash would they take shares in the business instead of a loan?

    or ask the bank about factoring
