Hi Lee

Liabilty can stay on the directors loan until the companys reimburses the director for the value of the asset they introduced.

There is no need for the liability on the directors loan to be cleared

Regards

Mark is right, it effectively creates a liability for the company - i.e. the company owes the director. It is then up to the company as to when they pay it out.

In some situations, directors run up large credit balances where they introduce cash to get a business off the ground. If the business fails, the directors will not get their money back. I'm not saying that's the case here though!
