Company Liquidation

Closing businesses in the UAE must undergo a legal process called company liquidation. Through this, the company’s assets are properly distributed among shareholders, creditors, and other concerned parties to ensure fairness and due diligence. Legal structures such as mainland LLC, sole establishment, or free zone formation undergo liquidation either through a voluntary or compulsory liquidation process.

As a premier corporate service provider in the UAE, IBG Consulting assists in company liquidation to entities in the UAE, including free zone and offshore companies.

Why is Company Liquidation important?

Company Liquidation is a solution that offers the owners, shareholders, creditors, and other associated parties to lawfully dissolve company assets and receive the legal share of its liquid amount. It serves as an exit strategy for the investors by settling the company’s liabilities and debts before they spiral out of control. Once it is complete, the creditors cannot pursue the owners or directors for any form of payment. It also writes off unsecured debts.

The whole process does not require the presence of the owners and directors. It does not affect the shareholders’ personal properties as well.

Two Types of Company Liquidation

Company liquidation may be initiated through either of the two types:

Voluntary

As its name suggests, this is the type of company liquidation wherein the shareholders themselves decide to liquidate the company even if its current assets surpass the liabilities. During the process, the registered agent will hold a meeting among shareholders to pass a resolution declaring the dissolution of the company. This meeting will also appoint a liquidator who shall represent the company to the UAE and the court.

Compulsory

The court orders the dissolution under this type of company liquidation. This is due to creditors who have already seek legal means especially if the company refuses to cooperate with them. The court assigns an auditor to assess the company’s assets and implement the best way to distribute them among involved parties.
