First time buyer and Business overdraft

Options
Hi,
I am first time buyer and preparing for myself to apply for a mortgage when we will out of this crises, I am applying on the basis of my employment income, however, I also have small online business onside but not generating or showing any income from that ltd company, now I am planning to apply for a business overdraft, however, I am worried if it will stay on my personal credit report and impact my score? I am planning to apply for an overdraft now and expecting a mortgage application not before July under the current situation.

    The overdraft will be in the Company name.

    The likelihood is that a credit check will be performed on the Company if the lender is aware of it. Dun and Bradsheet is the equivalent of the consumer credit agencies.

    Unlikely that a business overdraft will be granted without a personal guarantee. You would need to declare any liability on your mortgage application form.
  • Thank you for confirming
