Quick Summary

Yes, a partner's loan to a firm can be converted into their capital contribution if all partners mutually agree. The partnership deed explicitly allows for future investments to be made as either loans or capital. To properly document this consent, a formal partnership resolution on the firm's letterhead is recommended and sufficient.
