Before taking any steps on bankruptcy as self employed driving instructor answer this question first - are you a franchise holder? if so it is imperitive you read your franchise agreement as every agreement I have read (for many clients in a similar position who have approached me for help) there is always a clause prohibiting bankruptcy, therefore it is not a step you should consider without first accepting the fact you will lose your job and ability to earn an income.
If you are not a franchise holder, you should not have any difficulty, but please check before making any decison. You must also check any HP or lease agreement you may hold on your vehicle
