At United States common law, a partnership is terminated when there is some change in its ownership (e.g., if a partner leaves, dies, becomes bankrupt, or a new partner is admitted, etc). But the partners can provide for the continuation of the partnership by agreeing to continue as a partnership, or in advance, by providing for continuation in the partnership agreement. However, if the change in the original composition of the partnership leaves only one partner left, the partnership becomes a sole proprietorship by operation of law.

In the United States, a corporation is a separate legal entity that has been registered with a particular state, and when the owners wish to terminate its existence, they must file formal corporate dissolution papers with the Secretary of State of the state of incorporation. They will also be expected to file all tax returns covering the periods up to the date of dissolution.
