Sale of business

We have recently sold our business, so I have some questions:

 

  1. How to enter the proceeds into Accountright.  Should they be entered directly to an income account or be split up to income accounts & loan accounts (as spend money repayments)? I have tried to do this, but the repayments don't come up on the bank reconciliation so I can't reconcile.
  2. If income only, how to allocate the proceeds to the outstanding loan accounts of the owners that are already in MYOB?
  3. How to enter the disbursement of funds to the owners including the loan amounts?
  4. Should all balances then equal zero once disbursed?

For example, say we received a deposit of $20,000, but $9870 is owed to the loan account.  So how do I enter this so it comes up on the bank reconciliation and then how do I enter the disbursement to the owner of the business?

    I think it's best to consult an accountant or financial advisor for your situation. Your case may require a journal entry or passing the income through a clearing account since the income is positive and the loan is negative.
