Company Liquidation in Free Zones. Closing a company in a UAE free zone requires following a clear and regulated process. Each free zone authority has its own liquidation and deregistration procedures, but the main goal remains the same to legally dissolve the company, settle all liabilities, and obtain the official License Cancellation Certificate.
Whether you’re exiting the market, restructuring, or simply finishing a project, proper company liquidation in UAE free zones is essential to avoid penalties, fines, or blacklisting.
Company liquidation (also called company deregistration or winding up) is the formal legal process of closing a business entity. During liquidation, all company assets are sold, outstanding debts are paid, and any remaining balance is distributed to shareholders. Once the process is complete, the company’s trade license is canceled, and its name is removed from the Free Zone Commercial Register.
Liquidation ensures that your business is closed legally, transparently, and with full compliance with UAE free zone regulations.
Most free zone entities in the UAE undergo voluntary liquidation, as it’s faster, more straightforward, and ensures compliance.
Shareholders must pass a board resolution approving the liquidation and appointing a licensed and approved liquidator recognized by the respective free zone authority.
Submit the liquidation request to your free zone authority with supporting documents such as the trade license, certificate of incorporation, and MOA.
All employee, partner, and dependent visas must be canceled through GDRFA and MOHRE. The company establishment card must also be returned.
Pay off debts, salaries, and supplier dues. Then obtain No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from:
Some free zones require publishing a liquidation notice in two local newspapers (one in Arabic). Creditors are usually given 45 days to raise objections.
The appointed liquidator prepares the final liquidation report, confirming all liabilities are cleared and assets distributed.
After reviewing all documents, the free zone authority issues the official License Cancellation Certificate, confirming the company’s deregistration.
