Our expert team provides end-to-end support, managing everything from the initial board resolution to the final issuance of your De-Registration Certificate.
Professional Liquidator’s Report & Audit Services
A Liquidator’s Report is a mandatory document required by licensing authorities like the DED, DMCC, JAFZA, and DAFZA before a trade license can be officially canceled. This report, also referred to as a “No Liability Letter,” must be prepared by a registered and professional auditor. It provides a comprehensive overview of the company’s financial standing, verifying that all assets have been distributed and all debts to creditors and suppliers have been settled.
Types of Company Liquidation in the UAE
Understanding the type of liquidation your business requires is the first step toward a successful closure:
- Voluntary Liquidation: This occurs when shareholders collectively decide to exit the market because the business has fulfilled its objectives or is no longer viable.
- Mandatory Liquidation: Often enforced by a court order or licensing authority, this happens when a company can no longer meet its financial obligations or has violated regulatory laws.
The Step-by-Step Company Liquidation Process
We streamline the legal procedures to ensure a stress-free experience for business owners. The typical process includes:
- Board Resolution: Shareholders pass a formal resolution to finalize the liquidation date.
- Appointment of a Liquidator: A registered liquidator is appointed to oversee the process and notify the authorities.
- Public Notification: A notice is published in two local newspapers (one English and one Arabic) to inform creditors of the closure.
- Debt & Liability Settlement: This includes settling employee dues, resolving debts with suppliers, and closing company bank accounts.
- Obtaining Clearances (NOCs): We secure necessary No Objection Certificates from authorities such as DEWA, Etisalat/Du, Customs, and the Immigration Department.
- Tax Deregistration: We manage the final VAT and Corporate Tax deregistration with the FTA to ensure complete compliance.
- Final License Cancellation: Upon submission of the final Liquidator’s Report, the licensing authority cancels the trade license and issues the De-Registration Certificate.
Required Documents for Liquidation
To initiate the business closure process, you will typically need to provide the following:
- A copy of the Trade License.
- The company’s Memorandum of Association (MOA).
- The formal Shareholder Resolution to liquidate.
- A complete List of Creditors and Debtors.
- Verified Financial Statements and Bank Account Closure Certificates.
- Proof of Employee Settlement and visa cancellations.
