Transfer of Goodwill

We are tranferring goodwill from a partnership to a limited company, and I'm getting confused re the accounting entrys please can someone help my thoughts are:

in the company:
Dr Goodwill x
Cr Directors loan ac x.

In the partnership, there was no goodwill valued until transfer, so journal as follows:
Value goodwill
Dr Goodwill valuation x
Cr Partners capital acs x

Disposal of goodwill
Cr Goodwill
Dr Debtor from the company.

Not sure this is correct re the partnership, any suggestions appreciated.

P.S Just thought I'd add this will be going through our company accountants, but I'm keen to get the entry's correct in the first place.
