Sometimes a business reaches its natural end. Maybe the market changed or you want to move to a new project. Whatever the reason, closing a DMCC company in Dubai is not complicated if you follow the official process correctly. The DMCC authority has made liquidation clear and organized, but you must meet all requirements and submit the right documents.
At CSPzone, our team of experts helps companies complete DMCC company liquidation smoothly and legally. We are DMCC-approved consultants and guide you from start to finish so that your company closes without delays or penalties.
Liquidation means closing a company and clearing all its financial and legal responsibilities. It can be a simple process if your business is debt-free, or slightly longer if you have pending liabilities. The goal is to make sure your company ends operations properly and that all parties, shareholders, employees, and suppliers are settled.
This applies when the company can pay all its debts and has no outstanding obligations. The directors confirm in writing that the company can clear everything within 12 months. Once the declaration is made, the winding-up process begins.
This is a faster version of solvent liquidation. The directors confirm that all payments and closures can be completed within six months. It is suitable for small businesses or those that have minimal activities left.
If the company cannot pay its debts, creditors become part of the process. The appointed liquidator works with them to distribute any remaining assets fairly.
Sometimes the DMCC registrar requests the court to close a company because it has violated rules or remained inactive for too long. In this case, the decision comes from the court, not from the shareholders.
Visa Cancellation
All active visas under the company, including investor and employee visas, must be canceled through DMCC and the immigration system.
Liquidation Report
A report that explains how assets and liabilities were handled during the closure. It must be prepared by an approved auditor.
Audit Report
A final check of your company’s accounts and transactions to confirm that everything is accurate.
Bank Account Closure
Before liquidation ends, every company bank account must be closed, and confirmation submitted.
No-Liabilities Declaration
A written statement confirming that the company has cleared all debts and financial obligations.
DMCC-Approved Auditor
Only an auditor approved by DMCC can prepare liquidation and audit reports. This ensures that all documents meet official standards.
Shareholders or the board must agree in writing to close the company and choose the suitable type of liquidation.
Hire a DMCC-approved auditor who will handle the liquidation reports and guide you through compliance requirements.
Log in to the DMCC portal and upload the first group of required documents, including your trade license, establishment card, and the liquidator appointment letter.
All employee and shareholder visas, along with permanent and temporary access cards, must be canceled.
Once the first set is approved, submit financial reports, clearance letters, and other supporting papers requested by DMCC.
Deliver your company’s original documents such as the license, MOA, and share certificates to DMCC.
DMCC will publish a notice announcing that your company is being liquidated. This runs for 14 days to allow any objections.
Your liquidator prepares the final report explaining the company’s closing balance, which you must upload and submit in original.
A second public notice runs for another 14 days confirming the official deregistration process.
Once everything is approved, DMCC issues your License Termination and Deregistration Letters.
Collect the original termination letter from DMCC as proof that the company is officially closed.
The whole process usually takes between 45 and 60 days, depending on document readiness and publication time.
