Mortgage chances when ltd co got BBL

My husband is in full time employment and his income will cover 80% to 85% of the joint mortgage calculation,  however, I am a sole director of my limited company and got BBL in June, my income will be counted 15 to 20% towards the overall borrowing amount. We're not first time buyers and husband is in a secure job.
I have read some threads here that companies who borrowed under BBL are being refused mortgages. My question is, what would be our chances?
Thanks

    If you have a good alternate source of income and you aren't maxing out your borrowing it will be better than if you are both self employed trying to borrow the maximum possible based on your tax assessments. Be prepared to answer questions and to be able to show a good level of income on your latest 3 months bank statements
