Bounce back loan for self employed

1235»

Comments

  • I am a sole trader who uses my personal account at Lloyds (I converted from limited company last year).  My local branch said it was ok to use personal account.  Now I want a bounce back loan, Lloyds at present are not offering it to personal customers yet, although that might change.  I have opened a new Starling business bank account.  As a sole trader I had to open a personal account first and then add the sole trader business account after.  It took 10 minutes to open the personal account online.  Got account number and sort code 2 hours later.  Then another 15 minutes to open sole trader account.  They are now on the approved list for the bounce back loan as well.
    Barclays are getting a lot of bad press at present, why stay with them?

  • Starling bank account was setup in less than 2 hours the around 10 mins to add a sole trader account. My current banks can now lose my business in all future transactions . They have let alot of sole traders down. Starling bank seems to be the way forward . They have now been approved and offering bounce back loans from monday 11th of may.
