My accountant suggested a loan as well and avoids going into further discussions
Maybe I need some finance consultant, but situation doesn't look to me like very rare. Lots of people must have got multiple small businesses, unfortunately I don't know any in person.

Loan is the first thing that come to my mind as well. What about if the startup won't get any profit and won't be able to repay the loan?
I am genuinely worried if I get stuck with bunch of stuff which I just can't sell or something gets damaged or any other reason for business to go down.

You could also consider cash for equity investment.
If you are worried about the downside then perhaps you might want to reconsider your involvement; only you know your risk profile. But there isn't a magic way to make that risk go away.
You may want to consider the form the loan takes, with security over assets, or as a debenture or some other form of senior note. At least you might be able to engineer your self to be first in the queue rather than just a general creditor, though of course this will tend to impact of the ability of the business to raise other finance since it will change the risk profile to any other lender.

I am operating as a 1 person LTD IT consultancy.
Recently I got involved into an online retail business as a side project with few other people. I run website and do all IT related stuff.
So I have to spend on hosting, marketing etc + my own time.
Also we have big spending on goods purchase, logistics etc.., basically non-it costs.
For all spending: IT and non-IT I have to take money out of my company as dividends.
Is there a way for me to use my company money for this business? maybe as an investment.
