Totally agreed with olasunkanmi advice ........
Open joint account transfer all the funds from your personal account to joint account and also get 2 declarations done from legal representative the this is account details of joint account and you applying for ent visa and holding funds into joint account and you both have equal access to funds.
Also get letter from legal representative that should mention both of ur details and that you sign the declaration in front of him etc.
Also I will recommend writing covering letter explaining why u transfer funds in short period of time into joint account bcz of both of you having equal access to funds etc .... I knw there is no such a requirement but I have been refused and one of the refusal reason was that funds were transferred over the period of 3 days and they have high concerns regarding this (even there is no such a requirements) so it's best to play safe and give full track of money so they should come out with stupid reasons.
Regards

My friend and I are going to apply in the next week as an Entrepreneurial team, PSW route. For showing that we have access to 50K, first we wanted to open a joint personal account but as the money has been accumulating in my personal account, our immigration advisor suggested to keep the money in my personal account rather than opening a new joint account now and transfer the 50K in a short period of time. However, I am afraid that if I provide my personal bank statement with only my name on it, my friend's application might be refused. Our immigration advisor argue that you do not need to open a joint account as long as you are applying as a team and you can simply name each other on the application form. I appreciate if you share your experience on this.
