Dissolution of a business in New York refers to the process of legally ending the existence of a business entity, such as a corporation, limited liability company (LLC), or partnership. This can happen voluntarily, such as when the owners of the business decide to close it down, or involuntarily, such as when the business fails to comply with state regulations or fails to pay taxes.

In New York, the process of dissolving a business depends on the type of entity and the reason for dissolution. Generally, the process involves filing the appropriate paperwork with the New York Department of State and other state and federal agencies, settling all outstanding debts and liabilities, distributing remaining assets to shareholders or partners, and canceling any licenses or permits that the business held.

It is recommended to seek the advice of an attorney or a qualified professional to assist with the dissolution process, as there may be legal and financial implications that need to be addressed.
