Overdraft Facility
Overdraft facilities are agreements drawn between a bank and an account holder that allows the entity to take out or use more money than what they have in their account. These overdraft facilities work similarly to an approved loan since the account holder only has to pay interest on the amount owed and only for the time it was borrowed.
Overdraft Stake (Owners Equity)
Owner’s equity represents the owner’s rights to the assets of the business. To calculate owners equity, subtract the value of all liabilities from assets.
