When I needed to raise some cash to pay some bills a few years ago, I sold some equipment from the corporation. I did not tell the other two minority shareholders. The deal was: I'll sell you my "stuff", and I'll pay you back in two years. If I can't make the payment, my "stuff" is yours to keep.
My partners found out and now are trying to disolve the corp. Who really owns the "stuff" at this point? I gave a hand written "note" to the person I sold the "stuff" to.

Congratulations. You committed theft when you used corporate assets as collateral for a personal loan. You'll be lucky if your minority shareholders don't file criminal charges agaisnt you.

This is not legal advice and you are not my client. Double check everything with your own attorney and your state's laws.

dear tracy,
let me clear this up a little bit. it was not a personal loan. it was to pay bills related to the business. when we started the business, i put up all the funds. they were to put in hours worked. as it turns out they didn't put in too many hours also. when i asked them to help out with the bills (during the slow season) they refused. i did what i did to keep the business alive.
