I have always wondered – if you own your own company and a VC invests an amount of money in it, what is this funding generally *allowed* to be spent on?.

I can think of the obvious – running costs, R & D, salaries – but what else?. If you own/started up the company, is it generally permissible for *you* yourself to be paid a salary out of this funding too for the work you are carrying out?.

Any hints or tips about the correct or best usage of VC investment would be much appreciated.
