Hello, I am new to the forum and stumbled upon it while looking for some info. I'd be really grateful for some advice - some of the posts here are awesome in  their clarity!

I am about to start up a (very) small business - (we are talking a hobby that the taxman will need to know about rather than a main income) and have bought up my initial stock and stationary from my own personal money over the past 3 weeks.

Having now opened up a specific bank account for the business in the last few days, I wondered how I might be able to account for this in my cash book, bearing in mind I have not used funds from my business account to finance this (small) expenditure.

Would I be able to reimburse myself the cost of the stock from my business account by transferring the appropriate amount of money back into my personal funds, simply entering the transaction as a debit 'reimbursement to personal funds for initial stock and stationary outlay'? I have kept a speadsheet and receipts of my purchases.

Hope this makes sense and would really appreciate any response!

Many thanks LB
