It depends upon the size of the organisation. However, if it's a small concern, it is better that the owning spouse should discharge his loan liabilities as well as other current liabilities. If it is required new loans may be taken in the new firm. . Purchases may be started in the new prop. firm from the cut off date. . The new firm can acquire the debtors, if could not be received by the present Prop. . Stock may be transferred at current Fair market Price in the whole sale market. . For Capital Assets like land & Building etc, necessary agreements/ rent deed /sale deed etc are to be entered into in case so desired. . For Depreciable assets also sale price has to be decided for transferring these to the new concern. . There may be alternative schemes also.
