Company Liquidation

Company liquidation in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the process of officially closing a business and settling its affairs. It involves ending the company’s legal existence, settling debts, distributing remaining assets to shareholders, and ensuring all legal and regulatory obligations are fulfilled. When a partnership lacks liquid assets to support the organization’s daily operations, when leaders are underpaid or the organization commits a major crime, and when an administrative authority or office of the UAE’s Free Zone Authority, which is in charge of the relevant area, files a lawsuit to influence the corporate tasks, the organization in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, must dissolve.
