Private Loan

Hello,

I want to record a private loan that from a family member.

I have created a Money Received transaction with the 'Deposit Into Account' set as Cheque Account, and the 'From Account' as Private Loan.

This is now showing the Private Loan account with a positive balance equal to the loan amount.

Is that correct?

Regards,

Matt

Hi Matt,

If the Prive Loan account is a liability then it should have a positive balance until the business pays back the loan. By the way, you could record the private loan in the same way as a bank loan:
