Are there clever ways to take cash out of a business without tax?

(UK IBD). My MD had suggested a long term loan from the business to the owner as he wanted cash off the table but didn’t want to dilute his stake.

I don’t know how this would work because eventually the loan would have to be paid back at some point, especially in a sale or other similar event.

Shock, my MD had more important things to do than explain this to me, his own words.

Anyone have any insight?
