Balance sheet

Hello I was wondering if someone could explain what happens to the money a share holder has invested.

If for example they have put 80,000 into a failing business to bank role it, this will show on the balance sheet as a liability, but does the shareholder just get repaid once there are some profits? If so what are the accounting entries for this?

    01. When you put the money

    DR: Bank
    CR: Directors loan

    02. When you draw the money

    other way around

    What Emthi said is only true if the shareholder is also a director.

    Depends whether the funds are being lent or whether it is a purchase of shares/loan notes/debentures..

    If shares, whether there are sufficient funds on winding up/dissolution to pay back the shares in full.
