Not necessarily. If there is scope for improvement and future profit, in most cases the division would continue to run. It depends on the management of the firm.

What is the difference between allowances for loan losses and provision for loan losses?

The allowance for loan losses is a contra-asset account that appears on the balance sheet as an offset to loans receivable. It is an account with a running balance of the allowances for loan losses established to report loans receivable at their net realizable value. For example, if you have $100,000 in loans receivable and an allowance for loan losses of $20,000, the net realizable value of the loans receivable reported on the balance sheet would be $80,000 ($100,000 - $20,000). The allowance for loan losses is reduced when a loan or a portion of a loan is written off as uncollectible. The allowance for loan losses is increased when a provision for loan losses is established. The provision for loan losses is the current period expense for loan losses established in the current period. This provision is reported in the statement of operations (or income/loss statement). It represents the amount that is added to the allowance for loan losses in the current reporting period.
