Question regarding 'Due To Shareholders'

Hi,

can anyone explain to me why would a "due to shareholder increase"? my understanding is that it would either be two of the following reasons:

- Shareholder loaning money to business
- Business declared dividends but havent paid them yet

Is there any other reason? thank you

Yes, or the dividends could just be a payable if it is to be paid in the next 6 months.

Due to Shareholder is exactly that. So any reason in addition to those already mentioned that would cause the funds owed by the company to the shareholder to go up could account for the amount. But I think the most common reasons have been covered.
