Whether on a voluntary or involuntary basis, our company liquidation services involve complete assistance to successful wind up a company listed in one of the free zones in the United Arab Emirates or a local company registered by the Department of Economic Development of one of the Emirates.

The requirements to successfully liquidate a company vary based on:

• Legal form;
• Free zone vs. local company; and
• Location in the United Arab Emirates.

It is therefore essential to engage with an experienced professional services firm that has a proven track record of successfully liquidating a wide range of companies in line with client expectations.

• Appointment as liquidators;
• Issuance of the liquidation report;
• Drafting the Board Resolution;
• Assisting to close the bank accounts; and
• Assisting and managing the advertisement process.
