Partnership dissolution is the formal closure of a business partnership, including winding up finances, settling debts, and distributing remaining assets to partners. The process may be voluntary or result from a dispute, and it often involves buyouts, valuation, and written agreements that guide ongoing duties during wind-down.
Key steps include reviewing the partnership agreement, identifying assets and liabilities, arranging buyouts, valuing interests, and filing the necessary documents to terminate the partnership.
