Firstly this is my first post in the community so hey! I am a recent graphic design graduate along with my girlfriend. After spending some time finding work that suites us both we decided to give a start up studio a go. One decision lead to another and we found our selves looking at Narrow boats. Assuming some how we can find the money through a loan or mortgage to get a Narrow boat, we were wondering if it would be practical to have a liveonboat that could double as a small design studio for us both. Not only does the lifestyle suite us down to a tee, but it could be a really nice, quirky way of setting up a new business (taking the 'studio' to potential new clients etc) which could be a great selling point. Obviously this raises lots of questions, -A wide boat would be best, however this limits our cruising -continuous vs marina -enough internet to keep us both online -would you need extra licensing? Ideally in the future we would love 2 boats, 1 designed as a studio and kitted out as such, and the other a live-on but obviously acquiring 1 boat straight out of uni is hard enough, never mind 2. If anyone has any advice on the idea, or Narrow boating in general it would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Alex

Hello, I want to borrow £15k to help buy a boat but I am self-employed. I do have a near perfect credit rating though (971 out of 1000) Does anyone have any recommendations of where to look? Obviously I will say I am buying a car etc. I've tried HSBC and if you're self employed they want a tax return. This is okay but tax returns are kind of quite far in the past and the last one I filed in for 2014 - 2015 was the year I was doing an MA so there isn't mega bucks recorded, about £10k. There will be more on my next one which is due in January so could wait until then. Any advice appreciated. Thank you, Ruth
