Legal Question in Business Law in California

corporation

One corporation. Two locations. Two

directors. Each runs a location. One

director has put personal funds into

the corporation to keep it afloat. The

other director has not. What is the

legal aspect here? Also, is it legal for

one director to pay bills for his

location out of the others account

without consent?

Re: corporation

Thanks for your question. Depending upon how the personal fund transaction was structured, it could be considered a loan or a capital contribution. Are the two directors the only two owners (in shares) of the corporation? If it is one corporation, then on its face, it would be legal and appropriate for the directors to pay expenses from the same account. Remember one corporation can have more than one bank account but for accounting purposes it all comes in and out of the same pot.

Yours truly,

Bryan
