Company Liquidation Support in Dubai and the UAE
Organise the records, approvals and clearances required for an orderly company closure.
What this service covers
Company liquidation involves winding up an entity’s affairs, addressing assets and liabilities and following the applicable closure process. BWMC helps you prepare financial information and coordinate the relevant steps. Where a registered or approved liquidator must be appointed, the eligible professional and scope are confirmed before work begins.
Closure requirements differ by legal form and licensing authority. A licence cancellation does not automatically cancel VAT or corporate tax registrations, settle employee obligations or discharge debts. Insolvency, disputes and creditor priorities may require specialist legal advice.

Frequently asked questions
Does every business closure require a liquidation report?
Requirements depend on the entity type and authority. Confirm whether liquidation, simple cancellation or another procedure applies before appointing a liquidator or paying for a report.
Does a liquidation report prove that there are no liabilities?
A report records the work and conclusions within the applicable process. It should not be treated as an unlimited guarantee that no future claim or undisclosed liability can arise.
Is the process always completed in 45 days?
No. Notice periods and clearance steps vary. Outstanding debts, disputes, employee matters and incomplete records can affect timing. We prepare a timetable based on the actual authority requirements.
Do we still need tax deregistration?
VAT and corporate tax registrations have their own deregistration conditions and procedures. Check each registration separately and continue meeting relevant obligations until the process is completed.
Can we close a company with unpaid debts?
Unpaid debts require careful review. Do not distribute assets or assume cancellation removes liabilities. Discuss the position with the appointed liquidator and a suitably qualified legal adviser.
