Would agree with a lot of Brendan's advice ....
Here's how I think your bank will/should evaluate the situation ....
a) They've given you a loan...
b) Things haven't quite worked according to plan and you are now two payments in arrears - not an absolute crises but given that loan was only granted last August, it's early days to have run in to cash flow problems (I'll come back to this below)...
c) On the upside (from the bank's point of view) - is that as far as I can see they have a client not shirking her responsibility and has actually arranged an equity release to clear her debts with them - I see you say you have mortgage approval - assuming that there are no onerous conditions on same, you should be able to draw down within say the next month (which is only one more loan repayment with your bank) ...
d) I'd follow Brendan's advice and arrange meeting with your bank manager and explain your current situation - if, as it appears they have a concern in relation to your loan - they won't in any way jepordise your plans to raise finance elswwhere, and should give you a bit of breathing space .... they may seek an undertaking from your solicitor to direct the proceeds of your new loan their way - that will be a matter of negotiation for yourself ...
That's the 'bank' advice ...
However, please do ensure you are getting good quality financial/business advice, from say your accountant - a concern I would have is that, the business hasn't gone according to plan to date - what I'm unclear on is that a temporary cash flow problem or is the problem more deep-rooted (only you/your accountant can ascertain that) - if you believe you can work through your current difficulties fine - if not, be careful about raising loans to plug the current gap and throw more money in to your business.
Obviously I can't say which option you should take based on the limited information I've seen - all I'm saying is be absolutely sure of your ground before you invest further monies in to your buisness.
Whatever you do - I wish you the best of luck.
