    I recently started a business, I personally purchased a laptop and softward (spendy) before the business had its own bank acct. here is how I recorded the entry:


    Owner Investment (Equity) Cr 1271.16 (laptop, software, office supplies)
    Office Equipment (Asset) Dr 1221.07 (Laptop, software)
    Office Supplies (Exp) Dr 50.09 (Supplies)

    My question: Do the Laptop and software ALSO need to be expensed to the company? Can I change this around to be a loan from me to my company?? Any help would be great on how to advantageously work this for my company.
