I was wondering if anyone knew what the entry is on a C-Corp's books when an employee purchases all the stock. To make the example simple and hopefully not too overly simple, assume a C-Corp has 1.5 million in equity on the books. The C-Corp sells the stock to a person for $2 million. The buyer finances it through an outside party. What entry would be recorded on the C-Corps books? Would the interest and loan payable be on the books or would it be a personal loan? I'd appreciate if anyone can assist in this 'basic' example.

It depends. You do NOT give enough info.

If the employee financed it through an outside party, then it wouldn't be on the C-Corps books as anything but a sale of common/preferred stock.
