Quick Summary
A nominal partner allows their name to be used by a firm without contributing capital or actively managing it. Despite not sharing profits or losses, they are still liable to third parties, including creditors, for the firm's debts. This differs from a dormant partner, who may have a limited role and some short-term liability in cases of deficiency.

A nominal partner is one who allows the use of his/her name by a firm, but does not contribute to its capital. He/she does not take active part in managing the firm, does not share its profit or losses but is liable, like other partners, to the third parties, for the repayments of the firms debts.
So, it's also liable to Creditors also.
