Dissolve a Partnership Firm
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.
But in case of dissolving a partnership, the existing partnership is dissolved by consent or happening of a certain event, but the firm can retain its existence if remaining partners enter into a new partnership agreement.
