Thanks in advance

    How bad is your bad credit, just a poor "score", CCJ, IVA, bankruptcy?
    Do you meet all the requirements for the scheme?

    Your credit file has no effect, they may check it for fraud etc but its purely based on your business accounts/tax returns.

    What if the business was registered in Jan/Feb this year and has no credit history, just predicted turnover?

    Not strictly true 

    Many banks are scoring people for a feeder account. As a way to score the loan

    I don't think your credit score matters, a friend of a friend is a bank manager, they have said they have had lots of people applying for these loans in the bank that in normal circumstances wouldn't qualify for a £100 overdraft. they don't hold out much hope of the loans ever being repaid. guess the government will just have to pay it back then...

    In theory, it shouldn't matter. 
    In Practise;
    My credit score isn't great - I was declined by both Starling and HSBC for opening a feeder account. There are no fraud markers or other issues with my history apart from a very old satisfied CCJ and one default.

    As above, your usual credit worthiness won't effect your BBL application (I applied for and received a 20k BBL from santander despite the fact that I'd usually struggle to be accepted for a library card) however if you need to apply for a new business account in order to make the BBL application you may have a problem.

    How long was it from e signing relevant forms to rejection. If you don’t mind me asking?

    It's wrong though, because a feeder account will be closed after the down payment. 

    Hope I'm wrong though as its my only hope at the moment
