Frequently Asked Questions About Business Divorce or Dissolution in New Jersey
FAQ: What do I have to do to dissolve my business in New Jersey?
The business divorce process depends upon how you are organized—corporations, for example, must follow the procedure set by New Jersey law. You may have to first obtain shareholder approval or member approval. Articles of dissolution should be filed with the state. We will also have to prepare your final tax returns and notify any creditors of the dissolution. Once outstanding debts are settled, any remaining assets are distributed among the business owners. The organizational paperwork and any business agreements can impact any steps in the dissolution process.
FAQ: What will happen to my business’ assets upon dissolution?
Some business associates enter into an agreement that specifies how assets and liabilities will be handled upon the business’ eventual dissolution. In many cases, assets must be sold to satisfy outstanding liabilities. Once debts and taxes are paid, the assets can be divided either according to the terms of a prior agreement or through negotiation between the business associates.
FAQ: What happens when a corporation is dissolved?
While a corporate dissolution is akin to eliminating a legal “person”, the corporation can continue certain activities. Business activities must cease upon dissolution, but the corporation’s corporate existence continues so that the business can conduct “winding up” activities, such as liquidating assets and paying creditors.
