Dr Cash Cr Bank Over Draft
An agreed bank overdraft will help in the short term, but the loan will still need to be repaid eventually.
Yes. Overdraft is like an advance where you take cash from your overdraft account (even though you do not have equivalent bank balance) and then you repay the money to the bank once you have raised enough funding to repay the same. The bank would charge you an overdraft fee + interest for the money you borrowed from them
Some of the disadvantages of a bank overdraft facility are:you keep spending money even when you don't have enough cash to meet your spendingyou pay an interest on the money you utilize as part of the overdraft
