What category does a credit card loan go to when the debit is for equipment for your business?

Will my credit card be under a cost of goods account, expense account, loan or what? The equipment had already been paid in full by the credit card, now we are paying the credit card off. Should I name the credit card as a vendor?|||Are you using an accounting software package? Your question suggests that you are. If so, there is actually an account type for credit cards. You need to create a new account for that card. You will also need to set the credit card company up as a vendor.





Charges to the credit card would initially be booked either to an expense account or a capital account. Then when you start paying off the card, you book everything other than the interest expense to the credit card account.|||In my personal business, two things happen. We have surveying crews and we have the equipment they use. I started an LLC for the equipment alone. I then rent the equipment to my company through the LLC. That way if the company gets sued my equipment is safe and vice versa.





Hope this helps.
