What is Company Liquidation?
Company liquidation is the formal legal process of closing a business and dissolving its corporate structure in the UAE. It ensures your business closure complies with UAE Commercial Companies Law.
Without proper liquidation, directors and shareholders may face legal liabilities, travel bans, and ongoing financial penalties from authorities like the DED or Free Zone entities.
Key Outcomes:
- Complete legal closure
- Proper asset distribution
- Full license cancellation
- Official Exit Certificates

Frequently asked questions
What happens if I just let the licence lapse instead of liquidating?
Fines keep accruing against the licence and the shareholders, immigration files stay open, and the owners can be blocked from new licences or visas until it is cleared.
Do I need to deregister for VAT and Corporate Tax?
Yes. Mandatory VAT deregistration must be filed within 20 working days of the trigger, and missing it costs AED 1,000 per month up to AED 10,000.
