| If you are a Sole Trader and you're declaring yourself bankrupt, and want to keep the business, can you still have a separate business and personal bank account? If not, how can you keep business/personal expenses separate? |

Hi Holly
I am a sole trader,and went BR Jan 09.
I lost my Business account in the BR,
I started trading again almost straight away,
I had to use my personal account,
How ever I have heard that Nat West does have a basic business account if you have a poor credit rating,
I do not know if it is open to people who are still BR,
I will be trying for it myself in the next few weeks.hopefully to be set up for the next financial year,
But I am lead to believe that if they are not one of your creditors they may keep it open for you, once you are BR.
As I have said not 100% sure if this is right or not.
If you have a joint account with a partner, then may be set up a separate Bank Account and use this for Business.
All the best

I carried on trading when I was bankrupt and still use my co op cashminder account, no alternative really.
My business turnover is not all that big. I keep my accounts up to date and my business transactions are clear to see on my bank statements. In that case I so no reason at the moment to open a business account, especially if it's going to cost me money to run it.
Maybe someone can enlighten me as to why it is necessary to have a business account, especially when the turnover is not that great.
You may find it difficult to open a business account anyway under the circumstances.
