### Company.dissolve
Dissolve winds up a Company that holds no business: it files final returns and the certificate, and keeps every record. [Verb page](/business/nouns/company/dissolve?interface=sdk).

```ts
interface CompanyVerbs {
  dissolve(input: CompanyDissolveInput, options?: SB.CallOptions): SB.Call<Company>
}
```

Emits [`Company.dissolved`](/business/events/Company.dissolved).

**Returns**

| Output | Type | Required | Description |

| `company` | [Company](/business/nouns/company) | Yes | The dissolved Company, kept forever. |

**Refuses when**

| Check | Error | Fix | Then call |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| The key is valid, but its scopes do not allow this operation. | [`forbidden`](/code/api/errors/forbidden) | Use a key whose scopes cover the operation, or ask an owner of the namespace to grant them. | None. |
| The record is not in a state that allows this Verb, so the call is refused. | [`refused`](/code/api/errors/refused) | Read the record, run the Verb that moves it to an allowed state, then retry. | None. |

import { $ } from 'startup-builder'
