How to Terminate a Partnership Agreement in New Jersey
Whatever your reasons for wanting to end your business partnership, there are numerous obligations you must fulfill to do so legally. Most importantly, you’ll need to review the partnership agreement you established when your company was founded. You will also have to review the options you have for a dissolution strategy, which might include changing the role each partner has, selling your share, or buying your partner’s share. If you are unable to resolve a dispute, dissolution might be your best option.
Prior to filing any paperwork to dissolve and terminate your LLC, ask yourself the following question:
- Have I completed all of my agreed-upon business duties?
- What is my business worth? What am I entitled to?
- What are my business' liabilities? What do I owe?
- How will this dissolution affect our leases and loan agreements?
New Jersey does allow you to submit your partnership dissolution request online. You’ll also need to select the correct forms and submit them along with your request. These forms can be found at the NJ Department of the Treasury website. Our firm can assist you with this paperwork and ensure it is completed and submitted without error.
How to Dissolve an LLC in New Jersey
To dissolve a limited liability company (LLC) in New Jersey, you must:
- File a certificate of cancellation or dissolution with the state Division of Revenue
- Pay the required fees
- Wind up the company's remaining business
If you cease business operations but fail to dissolve, the LLC retains its obligation to file annual reports and pay taxes.
If you don't file the reports or pay the taxes, the state can revoke your LLC while the taxes, potentially along with penalties and fees, will continue to accrue until paid. In addition, the LLC may continue to remain liable to creditors.
