The Companies Act permits a company to make a loan to a director. A loan or guarantee must be approved by a resolution of the members of the company. A resolution giving the necessary approval can only be passed when a memorandum setting out required matters about the loan is made available to the members.
Information to be included in the memorandum:
There are some exceptions to the requirement to gain member approval including loans where the aggregate value does not exceed £10,000, or where this relates to a credit transaction, if applicable, does not exceed £15,000 or is entered into in the ordinary course of the company's business.
