If you have decided to close your JAFZA company, you are not alone. Many entrepreneurs reach this stage when it is time to move to a new venture or simply end a business chapter. The JAFZA company liquidation process is straightforward if you follow each step carefully and work with an approved liquidator.
At CSPzone, we make the process simple. As of October 2025, we have helped more than 100 entrepreneurs successfully liquidate their companies in JAFZA. With over fifteen years of experience in business setup and closure, our consultants ensure your liquidation is smooth, compliant, and completed on time.
Let’s walk through the entire process step by step.
Before starting the process, gather all the necessary documents. Having everything ready helps avoid delays. Here’s what you will need:
1. Liquidator Trade License
Your appointed liquidator must have a valid trade license. JAFZA only accepts liquidators authorized to operate within the Free Zone.
2. Lease Termination Form
If your company has leased office or warehouse space, you must submit a lease termination form confirming you have vacated the premises.
3. Clearance from JAFZA Finance Department
You must clear all outstanding payments with JAFZA’s finance department before liquidation can move forward.
4. RTA Clearance
If your company owns vehicles, you will need a clearance certificate from the Roads and Transport Authority confirming there are no pending fines or fees.
5. DEWA Clearance
If you rented a facility, submit a clearance letter from the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority showing all bills have been paid.
6. Original Company Formation Documents
This includes your original Certificate of Formation, MOA, and other incorporation documents.
7. Resolution Letter and Share Certificates
A formal resolution from shareholders approving the liquidation and copies of share certificates must be included.
8. Clearance from Dubai Customs and Etisalat
If your company imported or exported goods or held telecom accounts, you must obtain clearances confirming there are no pending dues.
The first step in the JAFZA company liquidation process is a board resolution. The company owner or shareholders must sign this resolution in person at JAFZA, confirming their decision to liquidate the company.
JAFZA requires every company under liquidation to appoint an authorized liquidator. The liquidator will manage the process, review financial records, and ensure compliance with JAFZA rules. CSPzone can connect you with approved liquidators who are familiar with Free Zone procedures.
Once the resolution is signed and the liquidator is appointed, the company must complete the de-registration form. This form is signed in person at JAFZA’s head office.
At this stage, you must return all original company documents including:
The company auditor or liquidator will also prepare a Liquidation Report summarizing how all assets and liabilities have been settled.
JAFZA charges a deregistration fee for liquidation. As of October 2025, the official fee is AED 6,500. The amount may change, so it is best to check with CSPzone for the latest information before proceeding.
JAFZA requires several clearances before issuing the final deregistration approval. These include:
These letters confirm that all payments and obligations are settled.
Before liquidation can be finalized, all company visas must be canceled. This includes employee visas, shareholder visas, and any dependent visas under the company.
Once all visas are canceled and all clearances are approved, JAFZA will issue the final deregistration confirmation, officially closing your company.
