I should have stated I would be going bankrupt in Ireland as i'm Irish - so I don't think employers in the uk have visibility of the bankruptcy register there anyway (I worked in uk for many years and hope to do so in the future)
Anyway - we are getting slightly off topic (although it does provide context for my original query)
So essentially there are mixed views as to whether an agency would be prepared to sign a contract with a family member as director/owner and me PAYE yes?
I really need some way to find this out before I go bankrupt.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could find this out even?Comment

Why don't you explain everything to the agency they you're looking to work with and see what they say ?Comment

In order to find out the prospective terms you will needto find tbe contract first. You could ask any agencies you plan on using for model contracts.
As you should realise needing to be a director is common. A shareholder less common. It is up to both parties to decide the basis on which they wlll do business.
Are you certain that your bankruptcy in ireland will legitimately allow you to hide your income or some portion of it in a uk company until discharge. Seems remarkably odd to me.
Here tbat would get you multiple significant charges (if caught). And they would also be visited upon your sister.Comment

Some interesting threads on agents insisting on sole directorship that might give the OP some insight in to potential problems.
