Personal credit card purchase for business reimbursed through business QuickBooks desktop

Glad to see you here in the Community, @james4223. I'm happy to address your concern about managing your business transactions in QuickBooks Desktop. 

First, you’ll want create a Journal Entry that will debit the expense account and credit the equity account. Let me guide you on how: 

1. Go to the Company menu and click Make General Journal Entries.
2. Fill out the fields to create your journal entry. Ensure your debits equal your credits when you’re done.
3. Select Save or Save & Close.
   
   

Then, you can reimburse it as a check if you’ve decided to compensate the money. Here’s how: 

1. Click on the Banking menu. 
2. Select Write Checks.
3. Select a bank account to use to reimburse the money. 
4. From the Account drop-down, select Equity account. 
5. Select the vendor from the CUSTOMER:JOB drop-down.

Thank you so much for your time and information Carneil_C  that does help, but 2 points I am still unclear of. 

1.  The piece of equipment I am purchasing how do I attach the purchase of it and enter it as an fixed asset that I am paying for in QuickBooks.  That way the transaction is connected to the purchase.

2.  Since my company does not make a lot of profit and it will take me 2 years to pay myself back for the machine.  How do I account for the additional interest that I will be paying for in the meantime.  Probably paying myself back at about 150 a month.  Do I just journal each payment in and calcualte interest on each payment time and split the transaction?
