Your E-2 nonimmigrant status would terminate by operation of law if the business in which you invested no longer exists. You would not be authorized to remain in the country. You would begin accruing unlawful presence. Once you accrue 180 days of unlawful presence, you would be subject to a bar to admission. You would not be able to use the visa in your passport once the business ceases operation. You can read more about E-2 visas at http://myattorneyusa.com/e1-e2-and-e3-visas-overview.
