Question

How to enter the sale of future receipts into accounting.

My boss sold future revenue and I am having trouble figuring out how to enter it correctly into our chart of accounts. At first I was using "short term loan" and "business loan interest" but I know that is incorrect because it is not a traditional loan. We sold 33,750 and received 25,000. There was an 1,100 Processing fee so our wire transfer came in at 23,900. We are liable for the full 33,750 regardless of when we pay it off. Our weekly payments are 843.75 (625 towards "principle" and 218.75 towards "Extra Sold"). Can someone please tell me what accounts I should be using for the original loan and the weekly payments. Thank you in advance I have looked everywhere and only found 1 possible answer.

I think I figured this out so I decided to share what I did just incase someone else has this problem.

After making the journal entry I was able to go to my bank account and find the wire transfer. QBO matched it to my journal entry and I confirmed it.

 

Journal Entry:

Debit

Checking $23,900

Loan Fee $1,100

Los On Sale Of Future A/R $8,750

Credit

Short Term Loan $33,750

 

Payments:

Will be applied to the Short Term Loan account to reduce the balance as we pay it off.
