thanks for your advice guys, If I have interpreted what binscab is saying correctly I can distribute money to a company which then lends that money back to the trust to purchase IP.  Would it matter if the company was trustee? Also the company would have to pay tax on any money it received from the trust however would this reduce our overall tax if I distributed a wage to myself and the Mrs and remainder to company. The business I am entering into may only last for 1 yr 2 max so I am trying to use whatever capital I raise to purchase IP or preferably IP's and also a PPOR, can u use a propery owned buy the trust as your PPOR, Cheers.
