17. I was involved in the past with a company which went into receivership. Will this count against me?

Possibly. It will depend on why the company went into receivership, when, to what extent you were responsible, and what you have been doing since. If the receivership was more than 10 years ago, and either you were only peripherally involved, or you have since rebuilt your fortunes, you probably do not need to worry about it. Be prepared to talk about it in terms of a learning experience. If it was more recent you will have to work harder to convince investors that you are worth backing.
