My parents do all the tax affairs as they not based in this country anymore. Don’t ask me no idea.

You need to get an idea because if you don't and HMRC come round they can do things like decide you were evading tax and send you a bill, at worst decide you were committing criminal fraud and take everything that you own that they have decided you paid for from money from this fraud under proceeds of crime and/or a prison sentence.

I would most certainly book an hour with a tax accountant, go through the set up of how you get your income and make sure that you're squeaky clean. Might be the best ever £100 you spend.

We won’t be investing in any more businesses we tried to help someone out but didn’t work out.

It didn't work out because YOU didn't do things properly, i.e having a proper written and legally enforceable loan agreement and doing due diligence on risk assessment. There's nothing wrong with investing in a business but you need to do it properly. Use this experience as a learning tool, learn the mistakes you made, move on and don't repeat them. There isn't anyone out there who has set up a business or invested who hasn't made mistakes. The difference is whether you learn from them or not.

We will reinvest in future.

So your loan started at £45,000 and you increased it to £76,000

Elsewhere around here I talk of shovelling coal in a boiler room. I’m not rich, though not poor. I know not to lend my money. I also know not to increase my risk.
