Difference between Director's Loan Account &...

Didn't find your answer?

When we prepare company accounts , i have seen Directo's loan account and Directo's Current account , i would like to know the technical difference between them.

Or is it the same account.

Director's loan or current a/c
I assume they both are treated along with the other unsecured creditors in a liquidation. No advantage to have a loan rather than a current account?

No technical difference
You might take the view that if the amount is fixed (or is being repaid by regular instalments) and interest is being paid, it is a loan, while the usual case with small companies, where the director uses the company to pay for his personal expenses or he incurs business expenses privately which he does not reclaim from the company, would be called a current account. In practice, they are more usually all referred to as loan accounts.
