Answer 3

A business person can but only if they have known you for a minimum of 2 years

Answer 4

in short NO it has to be aclergyman or doctor, someone of professional standing

Answer 5

Yes. I got the landlord of my local to sign mine and that was about 6 months ago. I doubt the rules have changed since then. They just have to be a licencee.
