Company Liquidation in Dubai/UAE
What Is Company Liquidation in Dubai/UAE?
Company Liquidation in Dubai/UAE is the formal process of legally closing a business and settling its financial, legal, and regulatory obligations. This involves canceling licenses, settling debts, distributing assets, and deregistering the company with relevant UAE authorities.
Whether it’s a Mainland, Free Zone, or Offshore entity, liquidation requires approvals from multiple government bodies — including the Department of Economic Development (DED), Free Zone authorities, Federal Tax Authority (FTA), Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), and more.
To carry out a compliant liquidation, businesses typically appoint a licensed liquidation consultant or audit firm, especially for preparing final reports, managing clearances, and handling complex procedures.
