Use the work 'loan' , use titles only and pick business and accountants forums. Loads of questions on this theme.

The tax office regards a loan of over £5,000 as a personal taxable benefit. Note the entire loan is assessed as a personal benefit, not just the amount exceeding £5,000.
To eliminate the personal taxable benefit, you need to pay your company interest from your personal bank account on the loan balance at a rate of 4.00% (check HM Revenue & Customs: Beneficial loan arrangements - official rates to updated rates for the future).
I suggest the loan interest is calculated and paid annually for every personal tax year the loan is outstanding (i.e. for each year to 05 April). The interest is calculated on the average loan balance for the year, and the HMRC have guidance on how to do this - HM Revenue & Customs: Loans - work out the value to use
You will also need to draw up a loan agreement between yourself and your company to record the loan details, and interest payments that will be made.
As the loan will not be repaid within nine months of the company year end, the company will incur a corporation tax charge of 25% of the loan balance outstanding at year end. This tax is ‘temporary’, and is repaid back to the company once the loan balance is settled.

Consider whether the loan means tying up your profit or capital too. but other than that there is nothing dodgy about it as long you account for the interest and tax.

Surely it's a legal (if taxable) benefit? Or would it be highly dodgy?
