I guess that makes sense. So do the banks do a search on every applicant for  their directorships or will they look into my employer company so see who the directors are?

I am just trying to find the best way I can put this forward and potentially change the current setup if need be i.e. if I resign as director  will that help? I have other family and wife  that are also directors so I do not have to be.

I earn a salary from the company so it is quite painful to have to go through everything to get a simple mortgage, but I guess it is what it is post GFC.

Will the banks look into the shareholders of the company, directors etc?

Thanks Tom and Richard
