Hi,

Recently declined a personal loan from BOI. I became self employed about 6 months ago which is the reason they cited for turning me down.

I had asked if having a guarantor on the loan would help, but they say that facility is only open to student loans, and that my only other option would be a joint application with someone in receipt of a regular income from a company. Although my income is quite regular and is sufficient for the size of loan I'm looking for, its the fact it hasn't been coming in long enough as self employed. I didn't think having a guarantor was exclusive to student loans, so I'm wondering is this just BOI?

Would another bank be open to the idea of a guarantor on the loan?

Any advice would be appreciated
