I just got the impression here that using the loan for personal funding was a no go and was only intended for use within the company.
Thanks for completely de-railing a good thread though.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostNo I won't. I will keep it in the company to top up my warchest. I had 5 months off last year so the warchest is a little thinner than I'd like it to be in these current circumstances. Whatever happens the very last thing I would be doing is buggering around with directors loans. Contrary to what you think DL's are not part of everyday business and paying them isn't supporting the business. It's the company doing the director a favour and IMO should be used very sparing and not as part of day to day business.
Exactly. Well not quite 'within' the company.
Thanks for completely de-railing a good thread though.
Scenario: You have a big personal expense in the near future and need to use 10k of the business loan to fund it. If you take it out as a dividend you will probably incur tax on that, you will then need to repay it as a DL TO the company at a future date when you have to pay off the BB loan. If you are not trading at that time, possibly as there is no need due to IR35, then your business will have a loan which in theory won't be able to be settled. What do you do then?Comment

If you think this thread should not discuss how the loan can be used in the context of contractor's LtdCo's then you have missed the point completely.
Most contractor's are only considering this loan to fund themselves personally. You don't seem to understand that a "warchest" is what you use to fund your personal self in hard times.Comment

Clearly, there's a risk that work won't pick up in the medium-term and you're then left with a loan to repay and no income. However, that is a much better scenario than spending tax money.Comment

We could get together and pitch legal challenge against IR35 and perhaps launch a campaign for transparency - e.g. for the case when the Chancellor has not disclosed his ties to Infosys and I believe just because of that he should step down.
It could be a great use of those loans.Comment
