Company Liquidation
Company liquidation is a formal insolvency process that ends a company’s existence. Often referred to as ‘winding up’ or ‘closing’ a company, this procedure involves selling off all the company’s assets to generate funds for settling outstanding debts and expenses. Any surplus funds after debt settlement are distributed among the company’s shareholders.
Due to liquidation, the company stops its business operations and dismisses its employees. The business license is revoked, and the company’s name is removed from the Trade Registry, signaling the cessation of its existence.

Why Company Liquidation?
In the UAE, company liquidation may become necessary for two primary reasons:
- Fulfillment of Purpose: When the original purpose for establishing the company has been accomplished, and the entity is no longer required, liquidation becomes a suitable course of action.
-
Insolvency If the company cannot pay its debts and is considered insolvent, liquidation may be the appropriate solution. Even in cases where a company has no outstanding debts to creditors, it is highly advisable to undergo the formal liquidation process rather than allowing the trade license to expire.
Formally liquidating a company involves several essential procedures. Neglecting these steps may lead to penalties and potential 'blacklisting' of the company, its directors, and shareholders by UAE government authorities. Such consequences could adversely affect their involvement in other businesses or hinder their ability to establish new companies.
How Can We Help?
The company liquidation process can be time-consuming and costly, as it involves coordinating with various external parties and authorities to ensure timely and proper arrangements. Please complete any crucial step or document to avoid unnecessary delays and complications.
In recent years, the company liquidation process in the UAE has become more intricate due to the implementation of Value Added Tax (VAT), Economic Substance Regulations (ESR), and Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) rules. Consequently, companies must approach the winding-up process with more care and attention.
