As a Franchise Attorney I can say this. Shareholders have no right to do what you describe, unless proper formalities are followed by the directors and officers of the corporation (such as a written shareholder loan, bearing adequate interest, etc.) Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
