When the owner takes a draw for personal use, it reduces the owner's equity in the business because it is considered a distribution of profits rather than a business expense. This action does not affect the company’s net income, but it does decrease the available capital for reinvestment. Moreover, frequent or large draws can impact the business's cash flow and financial stability if not managed properly.

Money taken by the owner of a business for private use is often referred to as "owner's draw" or "withdrawal."

This transaction reduces the owner's equity in the business but does not affect the company's income statement, as it is not considered an expense of the business. Instead, it is recorded as a reduction in the owner's capital account on the balance sheet. Essentially, draws reflect the owner's right to take money from the business for personal needs.
When the owner withdraws cash for personal use, it is typically recorded as a "draw" or "withdrawal" in the business's accounting records.
