One-man companies are a special case but I have heard and read plenty of stories about the directors of small companies spending all the company money on themselves when they realise insolvency is approaching.

Oh, and as previously mentioned, don't do it again. (It is widespread in the real-world but it is usually an indicator that the business is about to go down the toilet because the directors are thinking about their own spending rather than the business's).
Really?
</perplexed>
I needed a new car so I took a directors loan at 4% at beginning of new calendar year. Paying it back in full next week from a large div at the beginning of the new tax year. Pay 4% for 3 months, and not have to pay more income tax in the 2011/2012 fiscal year by taking more personal income.
Where does that have anything to do with the company going down the toilet?

I assume you have bought personal stuff using company money which is a very bad path to go down. OG has the suggestion but doesn't make the point not to mess up the company money which is the companies and yours which is yours. You cannot interchange the two when you want to.
DL has to be be back in 9 months after the current company year end as well so there are rules. You also cannot do them back to back else you will incur tax on the money.
