Loan from someone else!

Hii!! Okay so this is what I am dealing with. 

I started my trucking business but I did not have any startup money. My wife used her credit card to pay for my insurance deposit which was $10,000 now plant to start paying her back $500 every week. I want to pay her from the business bank account. How would I record these $500 payments when I am doing my bank reconciliations? Should I treat this like a loan and put it as a liability? But the 10,000 was never deposited in my business bank account. I have a corporation. Help!

Create a journal entry to record both the insurance expense and the loan payable to your wife: debit Insurance Expense for $10K, credit Loan Payable (other current liability) for $10K.  When you make payments, assign the loan payable account to your payment.  The IRS generally requires you to pay interest on loans to related persons if the loan is over $10K so this assumes you will be paying back only the principal.
