Loaning Money To My Business

[Illinois_Mars]

My question involves business law in the state of Illinois

I am sure this isn't the most appropriate place to ask this question but I would appreciate any direction. I am going to start my own LLC and will need to have captial in order to pay for material that I will resell as cost of good sales. If I lend my company money through my personal savings account can I have my company repay that loan back?

Thank you for lending your experience and knowledge.

You can loan money to your own business. It can repay the loan, if it has the resources to do so.

Make sure you document the loan as a legitimate loan with a written promisory note specifying an interest rate and date by which to repay, which could be on demand. Otherwise, the IRS may consider it paid in capital rather than a loan. Document everything, don't just move money in and out of the business informally.
