When you say bank statements, do you mean your personal bank account(s) or your company bank account?
When you say gaps, do you mean a gap between contracts or gap between own company business and previous perm employment?
Apart from 'sensitive' sectors like financial services, it all sounds absolutely preposterous. In 25yrs as an independent I've never been asked for either, and nor would I consent to either. For goodness sake you're an owner / director of a business supplying a professional business service and unless you're god then you have to spend quite a lot of your working days doing sales, marketing, admin and CPD and therefore gaps. Haven't they got the brains to understand this?
Whatever next!?
