Dissolving a partnership firm means discontinuing the business under the name of said partnership firm. In this case, all liabilities are finally settled by selling off assets or transferring them to a particular partner, settling all accounts existed with the partnership firm.

Any profit/ loss is transferred to partners in their profit-sharing ratio as agreed by them in the partnership deed.

Dissolving a partnership firm is different from dissolving a partnership. In the former case, the firm ends its name and hence cannot do business in the future.

  • Transfer of interest or equity to the third party
  • Partners still liable to third parties
