<prompt> Human: Me and a partner have started a business. We are looking into getting a business loan through our business. When paying of this loan we are most likely going to be paying it off through our own personal money from our day jobs. The business is barely started so does not have a lot of money in its account yet. My question is this: is there something special we have to do when paying from our own accounts? Like sign something that says its money we are donating? Or putting the money into the business account first and paying through that account?  <response>: CPA here: Its not money that you are donating. Is your business structured as a partnership? If so, your payments are capital contributions. You dont need to sign anything, and you dont need to put the money in the business account first. Make sure you keep accurate records. Buy QuickBooks or some other accounting software. Hire a bookkeeper if need be. Depending on how much business you do this year you may want to meet with a CPA as well.
