# Delete a company

`DELETE /companies/{companyId}`

The *Delete company* endpoint permanently deletes a [company](https://docs.codat.io/lending-api#/schemas/Company), its [connections](https://docs.codat.io/lending-api#/schemas/Connection) and any cached data. This operation is irreversible.

A [company](https://docs.codat.io/lending-api#/schemas/Company) represents a business sharing access to their data.
Each company can have multiple [connections](https://docs.codat.io/lending-api#/schemas/Connection) to different data sources, such as one connection to Xero for accounting data, two connections to Plaid for two bank accounts, and a connection to Zettle for POS data.
