There are various ways to repay a director's loan.
- Dividend: A paper dividend can be declared, which is a dividend that is offset with the directors' loan instead of being transferred to the director's personal account.
- Cash repayment: A repayment is made by transferring money into the company account from a personal account.
- Expenses or salary: The loan can be offset using other money owed to the director, such as the directors' underpaid salary or expense reimbursements.
