Co. Director, low income need a personal loan

Can anyone advise?
My husband is the director of our limited company, and has an income of around £6000 a year.
We however take in total (including this income) £13,200 net from the business annually.
When trying to apply for a £6000 loan today to pay off car finance (i.e. no increase in monthly payment, and no history of missed payments) he has been refused.
I would apply, but already have 2 loans in my name, can anyone suggest a solution or been in this situation and worked it out?
Thanks

You may be better posting this on the loans board BUT I will say this is what happens when you 'play' the tax system - his 'salary' means computer says no0

Hi,
Unfortunately, the accountant never explained the pros and cons of this to us years ago, when we were new to setting up a business and it's not really possible to change it now.
Do you know how I post the thread on another board, or do I just copy and paste the text into a new thread?
Thanks0 -
I would just copy and paste your original post in the loans thread.0

Why is not possible to change it? Surely he could just pay himself more through his wages and take less dividends?LBM April 2011 £4906
