My first mortgage was like that with the Halifax in 1975. Twenty years later when my business was beginning to expand quickly I bumped into my bank manager in the high street. He asked outside Tesco if I wanted anything, I said yes I'd seen a nice house for sale but I couldn't afford it. When I got home my wife said the bank had arranged the mortgage and we needed to sign the documents the next day. When we went to the bank he had filled in the forms stating my salary from the business was £125k which was about quadruple the actual or more. I raised it with the reply do you want the house or not!. Swings and roundabouts. GLA
No matter how well educated , don't let a boffin lead a business, it always goes wrong, look at IQE. Bring in business brains, you'll get much better results. GLA
