Multi-member LLC Initial Investment and Draw Account Setup

Hello, 

 

We're in the process of opening a restaurant with multiple investors. The investors received a portion of ownership in the new entity based on their investment amount. In addition, as part of the operating agreement, the investors initial cash contributions will be paid back in full from profits before non-cash ownership receives any share of the profits. All investors are silent and have no voting rights, but do own a majority of the company when their ownership percentage is combined. 

 

My question is, how do I accurately set this up in Quickbooks to track each investors initial investment, as well as be able to track the payments back to them. Do I need to set up secondary Equity accounts for each investor under a parent account to track each investors cash contribution? 

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Multi-member LLC Initial Investment and Draw Account Setup

Welcome, @Chris1973

 

It's great to see a new face here in the Community. I appreciate you coming here with your question about multi-member LLC initial investment and draw account setup. 

 

All it takes is three easy steps to record capital investments: 

 

  1. Set up an equity account. 
  2. Record the investment. 
  3. Pay back the funds from the investment. 

 

You can review details on how to do these actions properly through this guide: Record an owner's contribution or capital investment in your business

 

If you're still unsure if this is right for you and your business, I recommend consulting with your accountant

 

This should do the trick. Don't hesitate to ask any other questions you may have. Bye for now!
