How can I lend money to the company?
The provision of funds to the company by shareholders or directors may be made, for example, through shareholder loans or other forms of lending.
For this purpose:
- the funds must be transferred to the company’s bank account
- the transaction must be properly documented
- there must be an appropriate accounting treatment
Can I withdraw money from the company?
The withdrawal of funds from the company must comply with the applicable legal and tax framework.
Depending on the circumstances, this may occur through different mechanisms, such as:
- payment of salaries
- distribution of dividends
- repayment of shareholder loans
Each of these options has distinct accounting and tax implications.
Can I withdraw money from the company without justification?
No. Any outflow of funds from the company must be properly justified and supported by appropriate documentation.
The method of withdrawal must be aligned with the nature of the transaction and with the applicable tax and accounting obligations.
How can I receive a salary?

What type of documents should I send as evidence?
