Do you mean invest the £20k in YOUR own company as share capital while the £30k will appear in your company accounts as Directors Loan?

There are no rules preventing you from investing as share capital in your own company.

No. Under Tier 1E rules, any investment in a company that you are not personally a director will not be considered an acceptable investment towards your extension/ILR.
