Hi, I think this counts as an accounting question but sorry if I’ve got that wrong.
I’m unclear on what a negative or a positive balance on the director’s loan account means. Is a negative balance an indication that the company owes the director, or that the director owes the company?
Context is that I transitioned from sole trader to ltd company and as part of that the company ‘bought’ my business off me in a business transfer agreement. So the purchase is money owed to me, as the director. The balance in the dir loan account is negative but should it be positive.
How do I record payments made to myself from the dir loan account? As money out, or money in?
