--explanation--

The phrase go out of business means that a company closes permanently, often due to financial problems or lack of customers. For example:

  • If the company doesn't innovate, it could go out of business. - Without introducing new ideas, the company might fail.

  • They nearly went out of business before launching their successful app. - The company was close to failing until their app became a hit.
