I have a client who is a c corp with a profit sharing plan. The only employees of the corp and persons in the profit sharing plan are family memebers. The client wants to loan 100% of the profit sharing assets to the c corp. Interest will be charged on the loan, all of the proper loan documents will be signed. The loan will be secured by real estate. I don't think this is a good idea. Any other thoughts pro or con?
