SMB Loan

We received a SMB loan from our bank but the funds went to pay the seller of the business we bought.  How do we record this transaction?

Journal Entry 

Account - Bank Loan $350,000 credit

Account - ? - Debit

how do we record the debit that went to the seller to balance the JE?  The funds didnt go into our account, they went to seller

I think the company was actually purchased by the shareholders not the company. If that's the case then the debit is note receivable shareholder

The debit entry is what you bought for $350K (the allocation of the purchase price).  Was this an asset sale?  If so, allocate the $350K between the assets purchased (inventory, fixed assets, non-compete, goodwill, etc.).
