Hi, I'm looking to go into Bankruptcy because of my personal debts, however, I recently started a new new business venture (as a sideline to my main employment, ironically to help pay my debts!) with a friend of mine, where we set-up a joint a/c to keep finances for the business separate.

I have not personally invested any money into the business and it is a regular HSBC business a/c

I was wondering if the a/c would be frozen as I am one of the joint a/c holders?

Would I be better off removing my name from the a/c?

Is there potential the business would be affected/closed down?



Thanks for reading

Carl.

The business is photography. We do events/parties/weddings etc.

Yes I am a property owner, and I have little if any value in the property so it shouldn't be much hassle for a family member to buy that back, but at the end of the day it's not a concern if I have to give it up.

It is primarily just the business I am looking to protect, as I will remove my name from the joint a/c before going BR, and my debts are not related this shouldn't be of interest to the OR.

Thanks.

I think you are going down the right path by asking questions.

Are you a property owner?

What is the business?

No it is just a partnership, but we have already decided it would be a good idea to remove my name from the joint a/c, and will look to do this before I go bankrupt.

Thanks.

Is your new business a Ltd company?
