My immediate thoughts are:
Is the business a separate legal entity? If so then I doubt you should
be checking his 'personal' payment of bills.
If the business is not a separate legal entity, then does the loan
application state they will look at his status regarding other debts? If
not then I doubt they should be checking up on it especially if you are
not doing for the credit card etc.

Subject: [data-protection] Sort of data sharing ........
Has anyone any advice, ideas or details of their own practices over this
query.
Our Business Unit has received an application for a business loan. In
rural areas such as this often people are well known to others and in
this case, the applicant's vehicle has been seen on numerous cases with
parking tickets. The Business Unit have asked if he has paid these fines
and also made enquiries to Council tax regarding his payment of these
bills. My initial reaction is that other debts he may have with the
Authority should have no bearing on his loan application - after all, we
can't ask his credit card company how much he owes.
Thanks
