Making Business Payment from Personal Account
MakingLifeMine
Posts: 60 Forumite
I am waiting for a new card, but I have a payment due today, which can't be postponed.
It's to the US, and I can't pay in another way.
If I take the money out of my business account and pay it from my personal account, what's the best way to record this in my accounts?
I am a limited company if that information is helpful.

Make the payment from your personal account.
Record that in the Ltd Co account as Directors Loan.
When the business pays you back, record that in the Ltd Co account as repayment of the Directors Loan.0 -
Due to the sum of the payment, I would need to take the money out of the business to transfer to my personal account to make the payment. If I do what you say, would it sound like I would debit my business account twice? As I am not using my personal funds...Grumpy_chap said:Make the payment from your personal account.

If it all happens on the same day, then it doesn't matter which order the transactions happen, surely.Signature removed for peace of mind0

Okay - I initially understood you were using personal funds.MakingLifeMine said:

The use of the personal account is academic.
Pay from the Ltd Co to personal account.
Pay the business bill to USA from personal account.
Enter into business accounts as payment of the business bill.0 -
I forgot to come back here and say thank you for helping!!!2
