Overview

Close your UAE entity cleanly and confidently—our senior team runs the full sequence from partner resolutions to final deregistration, coordinating liquidators, public notices, visa cancellations, tax deregistration, utilities NOCs, bank closures, and license cancellation on defined timelines.

Scope of work

  • Governance and initiation: draft board/shareholder resolutions, appoint registered liquidator, collate corporate records, and prepare notarizations.
  • Liquidation process: obtain initial liquidation approval, publish statutory notices, manage the creditor claim period, and prepare interim/final reports.
  • Employees and visas: cancel establishment and labor files, process employee visa cancellations and end‑of‑service benefits, and close immigration records.
  • Tax and compliance: file final VAT/CT returns, secure deregistration, close ESR/UBO/PSC obligations, and archive compliance records.
  • Premises and utilities: terminate leases/EJARI, obtain landlord NOC, secure DEWA/telecom NOCs, and clear municipality/zone dues.
  • Banking and liabilities: reconcile accounts, settle guarantees, close bank accounts, and obtain no‑liability letters.
  • Final cancellation: submit complete pack to the authority (Mainland/Free Zone), pay fees, obtain license cancellation and deregistration certificates.

Mainland vs Free Zone specifics

  • Mainland (DED/DET): two‑newspaper liquidation notice, typical 45‑day creditor window, labor/MOI/immigration cancellations, final liquidator report, and deregistration.
  • Free Zones (DMCC, JAFZA, etc.): portal‑based closure requests, zone‑specific notice and solvency requirements, facility clearance, and authority termination letters.
