    Use it to pay off Loan Charge (partially or in full), move to a brolly and then let the creditors wind the company up.

      I know this is a flippant suggestion, but the Loan Charge is a personal tax so you'd have to extract the loan funds from the company first.

      Perhaps transfer the funds to an offshore trust, who can lend it back to you, tax free, with a pinky-promise that you'll never need to pay it back (honest guv, search the documents, there's no word loan in there anywhere).

        Maybe you'll just have to pay yourself 50k salary and take the tax hit.

          No, no, just pay it directly from YourCo and fake an invoice pretending you bought a very expensive desk and special chair for your achy back. Capitalise those then "lose" them - maybe fire or theft - and write off the assets so they can't be repossessed against your debts.

          Simples.

          EDIT: for bonus points, claim on your home insurance for the replacement value of said desk and chair

              Doesn't open until May 4, but why not? Even if there were a scope (there won't be), all of those you mention would clearly be within scope. There won't be any restrictions on how you spend it, providing you pay it back

                Worth a punt especially if there is no director guarantee is required like many commercial loans these days and the interest rates are not ridicules. This time next year Rodders...
