I had a failed business and thanks to personal guarantees I now have nearly 800k of debt. Obviously bankruptcy sounds like the answer but I have 2 other limited companies that are doing ok and I don't want to give up being a director of these businesses.
I also have a mortgaged property (Tennant in common) with my partner. Would you say an IVA is my best move?

    I think you need professional advice. 
    Also look at CVA (not IVA) if limited companies.

    These are the people to contact for advice.

    Do not be taken in by any IVA company, be 200% sure you are doing the correct thing before you jump.
    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.

    I don't think a CVA will help where there are personal guarantees. Business Debtline can confirm this.

    An IVA may be a good option but with such a large amount of debt, there will have to be a pretty large monthly payments to get the IVA to be approved by the creditors, especially if there is a lot of equity in the property. 

    You do not want to talk to a large IVA firm, this is not a cookie-cutter IVA; I suggest you need a specialist firm of accountants, sorry no recommendations
