The Effect on Your Employment or Business

There are certain jobs you cannot have if you are an undischarged bankrupt: Company Director (or concerned directly or indirectly in the management of a company), MP, Councillor, Magistrate or Estate Agent. A bankrupt usually can't be a school or college governor and there are restrictions under charity law as to the role a bankrupt can serve on management committees.

Security firms may not wish to employ an undicharged bankrupt, particularly where money is involved. And the same applies to the civil service. The rules for professions such as solicitors and accountants make it virtually impossible for people who've been bankrupted to work in these professions.

We are not Civil Servants so no effect:

However, there are different types of Bankruptcy where the person/s involved are found culpable, blameworthy or dishonest - certainly the dishonest one may mean you can't work for RM but I think it would be decided on a case by case basis.

I know someone who's been bankrupt and someone else who's doing it now and neither were denied employment or asked to leave.
