You do not need to check the box.  You just need to file your 2021 Schedule C with your business information from when your business was in operation in 2021.  As long as you do not have any 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC forms reported to you in 2022 for this business, the IRS will not penalize you or require additional filing information.

 

From the IRS:

Since you noted you did not have assets to sell you will not need to file the additional forms listed here.
