    Double Entry Bookkeeping
    If I took over a business and assumed a debt of $8000 how would I record this as a journal entry

    My Loan Payable Credit would be $8000 but what is my offsetting account when I do not actually have that $8000 nor can I track it to anything?

    That could go against an equity account such as opening balance equity or owners investment as or your start date.
