Ending a business meeting shouldn't be a problem I think it should be done normally if all business discussions has come to an end.
The best approach to end a business meeting is to summarize the key points discussed, assign any remaining tasks or actions, and thank everyone for their time and contributions.
You can end a business meeting when everything is completed and when there is no more contribution to put to the table by the staff.
There is need to revisits the points or summarize all the points of the meeting. Secondly, there is need to list out the solution provided. And finally, there is need to ask if anybody have questions, if there is none then close the meeting.
Ending business meetings is more than all the processes listed above. Especially if it were big companies. If you are not in the system, you can never know. There are lay down procedures as stipulated in the rules and regulations of each individual companies.
It's important that there's a program of activity and agenda. The flow of the meeting should follow the outline. Other matters are usually taken up after all had been discussed. If no other topics to be discussed someone has to motion for adjournment if everybody seconds the motion then. meeting is adjourned.
When all the discussions are already made, the next thing to do is to end the business.

I agree that it depends on how the facilitator will end the meeting. It needs to consider to inform the participants that the Meeting Minutes will be send to them within the day or so.
Minutes of the meeting is posted on our office white bulletin after the meeting and printing. Sometimes other matters make the meeting long.
Before the end of the meeting, the chairperson should summarize what have been discussed during the meeting; mention follow up actions and completion deadline; and thank everyone for their attendance and contributions.
I don't think a business meeting should be too difficult to end. As long as everything has been discussed and everyone who is part of the meeting has been allowed to voice their concerns or even ask their questions and they feel that everything has been covered then the meeting should be fine to close and end.
Asking the members for their opinions and any questions is very much important so that they feel like they are valued in the company or business.

When the meeting is about to end and the boss asks for additional other matters, no one will talk hehehe and the head will then say the meeting is adjourned. I do not like to attend meetings sometimes hehe.
In my place, one of the attendees would move for adjournment of the meeting and another person seconds the motion, the head of the meeting gives closing remarks and the meeting ends.
