    Thanks. I'll give it a go with HSBC, if for no other reason to be able to demonstrate that I tried!

    Bounce Back Loans - 3 companies

    Thanks for the considered reply Yes, that is how I read it as well. Both HSBC and Co-operative and quite specific in their application forms that you use group turnover for the calculations This is the bit I'm definitely very unsure of, but I agree it seems to run entirely counter to the...

    Bounce Back Loans - 3 companies

    I posted on the main thread about this, but no comment, so trying here as it seems more relevant. Santander have published guidance on what constitutes a group [ Link removed as I apparently can't add them yet, but it's on their website and can be found by googling "business group guidance...

    Bounce back loan

    I control two limited companies and so fall under scenario D on the Santander PDF and whilst there is a certain amount of interpretation, I think they could well be considered in the same line of business. So, that seems to preclude two separate loan applications as they are to be considered a...

    Online product advertised in retail setting

    Hi, We have an online business that produced personalised custom canvas/framed prints. The product doesn't lend itself very well to being advertised online because it really needs to be seen in person to be appreciated. However, because it is a personalised product that needs to be...

    Problems with "rogue" director

    Removing her as a director is a step beyond what I want to do. For one, she has one of the flats and I feel she should get a (proportional!) say in how the management company is run. I also believe from my understanding of the lease, that she is entitled to a place on the board of the management...

    Problems with "rogue" director

    Thank you. That is useful information. In our case though, we have no problem paying the service charge. In fact, we want it to be higher, because it clearly isn't enough to pay for some larger expenses on the horizon (external painting of the building for example). What we can't seem to get is...

    Problems with "rogue" director

    Thanks Frauke. The problem we have in our case is that meetings aren't even being called for various ridiculous reasons about people being ill/away etc. and this woman is just filing accounts and taking money out of the company account with impunity. We called a meeting ourselves recently to...

    Problems with "rogue" director

    Thank you very much for your response. The company secretary is indeed also a director. So, with all this in mind, and having scanned over the Companies Act pdf you linked to (thanks again!) it would appear that we are now compelled to take some sort of action in relation to this. But what...

    Problems with "rogue" director

    Hi, I am a director of a limited company that owns the freehold to the building that contains my flat on a 999 year lease. The company has 5 directors, 1 per flat and is theoretically charged with maintenance of the building and arranging for buildings insurance. A number of the other...

    HSBS Secure Epayments failure

    Hi, We currently use secure e-payments with the XML API so we take the credit card details on our site as part of our order page and then submit them to HSBC. Are we able to switch to using Protx in much the same fashion? i.e. POST the transaction details to them using XML and the process a...
