Hello,

I'm new to the forum! I've found myself in the following situation:

I'm 3 years into and IVA after amounting debts in my 20's.
I am a sole trader but have recently incorporated as a ltd company as I am receiving a grant from Arts Council England and want that money to be separate from my personal money.
The Arts Council however, need a PRA regulated, UK incorporated bank to pay into so my TIDE account was no good. I've been regected by Sterling and am waiting to hear from Natwest but am expecting a no.

So my question is can I add my wife to my business as a shareholder and improve the business credit score/use her credit score to open an account?

Thanks in advance
