Hi,
I managed to borrow £39k from HSBC Hertford branch, in Hertfordshire. When I first applied they didn't know a great deal about the professional studies loan - Well they do now!
I presented a business plan and my father agreed to be the guarantor which helped. I did not bank with HSBC before I took out the loan and had to close down my Barclays current account, which I think is a condition of the loan. Contact there is Helena Grubb 01992 903006 - very helpful.
