How much money is a small business loan?
In 2018, the average small business loan amount was $663,000. That’s for all business loans regardless of loan type. Depending on the amount you need for your business and what your lender offers can range from $13,000 to over $1.2 million. However, different types of business loans have different average amounts.
Can I give my LLC money?
You may lend it money. You might need to supply the company with capital so it can pay its bills: rent, internet, print costs, and so on. Most states permit you—and any other LLC members—to lend unlimited amounts of money to the LLC. Members may limit this prerogative through the company’s operating agreement.
How do I pay myself back from my LLC?
You pay yourself from your single member LLC by making an owner’s draw. Your single-member LLC is a “disregarded entity.” In this case, that means your company’s profits and your own income are one and the same. At the end of the year, you report them with Schedule C of your personal tax return (IRS Form 1040).
