Liquidation Process In Dubai
At Stratus, we understand that the decision to liquidate a business is often a difficult one. Whether due to financial challenges, strategic realignment, or other reasons, our team is here to guide you through the liquidation process in Dubai with professionalism and expertise.
What is Liquidation?
Liquidation is the process of winding up a company’s affairs by selling its assets, settling its liabilities, and distributing any remaining funds to shareholders. In Dubai, this process is governed by local laws and regulations, and it’s crucial to follow the proper procedures to ensure compliance.
Types Of Liquidation
Voluntary Liquidation:
Initiated by the shareholders when they decide to close the business. This can occur due to various reasons, including a lack of profitability or a strategic business decision.
Involuntary Liquidation:
This occurs when a court orders the liquidation of a company, typically due to insolvency or failure to meet legal obligations.
Steps Involved In The Liquidation Process:
Board Resolution:
The liquidation process begins with a resolution passed by the company's board of directors or shareholders to initiate the liquidation.
Appointment of a Liquidator:
A qualified liquidator is appointed to oversee the liquidation process. The liquidator is responsible for managing the sale of assets, settling debts, and ensuring compliance with legal requirements.
Notification to Authorities:
The relevant authorities, including the Department of Economic Development (DED) and the relevant Free Zone Authority (if applicable), must be notified of the liquidation decision.
Asset Valuation:
The liquidator conducts an assessment of the company's assets to determine their value for sale.
Settlement of Liabilities:
Outstanding debts and obligations must be settled before any distributions can be made to shareholders. This may involve negotiating with creditors.
Distribution of Remaining Assets:
After settling liabilities, any remaining assets or funds are distributed to shareholders in accordance with their ownership stakes.
Final Reporting:
The liquidator prepares a final report summarizing the liquidation process and the distribution of assets, which must be submitted to the relevant authorities.
Deregistration of the Company:
The final step involves deregistering the company with the DED or the relevant Free Zone Authority, officially marking the end of the company's legal existence.
