It is a completely fresh begining for your whole family to and nothing can stop from being able to build a home, career and a life that you can be proud of. Remember bankruptcy isn&#8217;t the end its a new begining. You are immediately protected from all existing\u00a0creditors who form part of your bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>You should understand that it is extremely unlikely that you will be able to borrow money from a high street lender. It is not unusual for a self-employed person to obtain start up or project funding from a private source which is acceptable for an un-discharged bankrupt (providing the lender is aware of your circumstances).<\/p>\n<p>Once you are discharged from bankruptcy (usually after 12 months, but sometimes sooner) you will be able to rebuild your credit file.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_divider_umw780puxd\" class=\"cl\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_mhcv60ox3c\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_fullwidth\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner cmsmasters_row_fullwidth cmsmasters_row_no_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin cmsmasters_row_columns_behavior\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_column_6rf377l5xg\" class=\"cmsmasters_column one_half\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column_inner\"><div id=\"cmsmasters_heading_cc6logbfc\" class=\"cmsmasters_heading_wrap cmsmasters_heading_align_left\">\n\t<h2 class=\"cmsmasters_heading\">Bankruptcy restrictions<\/h2>\n<\/div><div id=\"cmsmasters_fb_gzjs3dq80b\" class=\"cmsmasters_featured_block\">\n<div class=\"featured_block_inner\">\n<div class=\"featured_block_text\">\n<p class=\"redtext\">Following bankruptcy certain restrictions are placed on you.
