If you are claiming business expenses, but no income, then it would be good to enter a zero in at least one category of income such as 'cash' payments.
That zero would indicate that you did not unintentionally forget to report your income.
If you did not operate your business in 2021 and did not have any expenses for the year either, then you would not need to file the Schedule C unless there are assets you are depreciating for your business. If you have stopped operating the business in 2021, then you should indicate that on Schedule C and file it for the final time even if income and expenses are all zero.
