You can make a loan to the LLC, however, you must observe the formalities of the separate legal entity and you must meet the requirements of the operating agreement, if you have one, or state law if you don't. Partnerships are different, they are controlled by the partnership agreement or the law as it applies to those entities.

You should consult with an attorney or your CPA, and be sure you make the loan properly with the right terms and conditions to achieve your goals.
