Hello there. Let me help you record your transactions when handling a lending business inside QuickBooks Online (QBO).
In QBO, keeping a record to track the loans and payments from your customers is essential. You can issue a multi-purpose loan to your customers. Follow the steps below on how. If you don't see the steps on the page of your QuickBooks, switching it to an Accountant view is recommended.

After that, issue a check for the loan.
