Mainland companies in Dubai need certified liquidators because UAE commercial law requires LLCs, partnerships, and joint stock companies to appoint a registered liquidator when winding down operations. Certified liquidators for mainland companies in Dubai manage the entire closure process including trade license cancellation, government clearances from DED, MOHRE, and immigration authorities, settlement of outstanding liabilities, and publication of the mandatory 45 day liquidation notice. Asad Abbas & Co. is registered with the Ministry of Justice and authorized by Dubai Economic Development to act as a certified liquidator for all mainland entity types.

To liquidate a company in UAE, the process generally follows two main stages. Stage one involves passing a shareholder resolution, appointing a registered liquidator, filing for cancellation with the relevant authority, receiving a liquidation certificate, and publishing the liquidation notice in two local newspapers with a 45 day creditor grace period. Stage two covers obtaining clearances from MOHRE, immigration, and FTA, cancelling employee visas, settling all debts, submitting the liquidator's final report, and receiving the deregistration certificate from DED or the applicable free zone authority.

If you need help liquidating your company in UAE step by step, Asad Abbas & Co. guides you through each approval and clearance required. The process typically involves obtaining a shareholder resolution, appointing a licensed liquidator, filing with DED, publishing the 45 day notice, securing clearances from MOHRE, immigration, FTA for VAT deregistration, and utility providers, closing the corporate bank account, and submitting the liquidator's final report before receiving your deregistration certificate. Our team handles each of these steps on your behalf so you can focus on your transition plans.

The steps include filling in the required cancellation form, cancelling the firm card at the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, cancelling the foreign partners' visas sponsored by the company at the respective General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs, collecting required approvals from other government bodies to cancel a license, preparing a partnership cancellation contract authenticated by the notary public, and submitting the above documents to collect the license cancellation certificates.

You need to provide a letter from the company or the institution requesting to stop the licensing temporarily, a letter from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation indicating the absence of sponsored people on the license, and a report from the inspection division in DED. In Dubai, companies may keep their trade licenses inactive for three years by paying a certain freezing fee. However, they cannot extend it beyond that specific period.

Yes, the dissolution of a company can be canceled before the issuance of the payment voucher, as at this stage the liquidation process is not yet finalized, so the company can submit a formal request to DED to withdraw the application. Shareholders may need to pass another resolution to continue operations and cancel any published liquidation notices. However, once the payment voucher is issued or official steps like visa cancellations begin, reversing the process becomes more complex and may require additional approvals or a new license application.

If a company established in one emirate is dissolved but owns a branch in another emirate, the branch must also be closed, as a branch cannot legally exist without its parent company.

The conditions for private liquidation include that the license expiration date should have been more than 2 years, the Emirati partner shall acknowledge his liability towards the company, the company needs to provide supporting documents that strengthen the dissolution request such as the escape of a partner, and the company needs to provide a letter from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation indicating the absence of sponsored people on the license.
