Hi friends I am new here so please bear with me, here is situation, I am going to invest in a pvt. ltd. company of my friend which was formed in 2010 but not doing any major business activity till date. It has 2 founding shareholders as directors. They are also going to do a fresh investment into it. We deciced to investment equal amount of money and My wife will be appointed as one of the 2 director of the company. (one present director will resign), Now my questions is: What is the more secure and better way for me to invest in it, as our accountant had suggested 2 options, one is buying the shares equal to the amount invested after calculating the per share value and second is that I can invest in it by giving a loan to director (my wife) at agreed rate of intrest and period thus without having any share in the company. I want to know which is the better and secure option for me, giving loan or buying equity, what the legalities involved. Do I need to look into MOA & AOA of the company for this. One thing more, me and my firend both are going to work together for the growth of company and also will exanpd in coming years.

Thanks for the reply, What documents need to be prepared I mean do we need any change in MOA, AOA or any other agreement. Also how share will be allotted, by creating a fresh equity or transfer from other shareholders.
