Hi Marcus and welcome to the forum

If you have proof that your wife has not benefitted from the additional borrowings taken out - ie she has not enjoyed the salary your business has been able to pay you as a result of the injection of this working capital, then you may be able to argue that this should be set against your share of the equity.

This is a fairly complex area, and you would be well advised to take advice from either an insolvency practitioner or lawyer in the first instance.
