Understanding Company Liquidation
Company liquidation, also referred to as winding up, is the formal process of closing a company. It involves ending the company’s operations, settling obligations, and legally dissolving the entity from official records. In the UAE, this process is regulated and requires a structured approach to avoid penalties and future liabilities.

Steps and Procedures for License Cancellation

1. Shareholders’ Resolution: A resolution must be passed to dissolve the company. This resolution, in the case of LLCs, must be notarized by a UAE Notary Public. If shareholders are abroad, the resolution must be attested by the UAE Embassy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ministry of Justice.
2. Appointment of a Liquidator: A licensed liquidator must be appointed, and their details included in the resolution.
3. Submission of Documents: File the resolution and liquidator appointment with the relevant authorities.
4. Clearance Certificates: Obtain clearances from various departments such as immigration, labor, utilities, and leasing.
5. Final Audit Report: A final audit and liquidator report must be submitted.
6. License Cancellation: After submission and approval, the license will be officially canceled.

Documents Required for Liquidation

Free zone companies in the UAE are exempt from income tax, corporate tax, and customs duties. They also do not require a UAE national as a shareholder. Grantson Consulting provides expert guidance in setting up Free Zone companies tailored to your business needs. Our advisory services cover the setup of Free Zone companies in the following areas:

• Ras Al-Khaimah Free Zone
• Abu Dhabi Free Zone
• Sharjah Free Zone
• Ajman Free Zone
• Umm Al Quwain Free Zone
• Fujairah Free Zone

Free Zones are special economic areas created to offer tax-free and customs duty-free benefits to expatriate investors. They are designed to encourage international business by granting 100% foreign ownership. Each Free Zone operates under its own set of rules and regulations and is managed by its respective Free Zone Authority.

Free Zones function independently of the federal laws and those of the Ministry of Labor. A Free Zone company is an attractive legal structure offering not only 100% ownership but also numerous advantages unavailable through other business structures. Unlike mainland setups, expatriates can establish a Free Zone company without a local sponsor and benefit from 100% repatriation of capital and profits, along with full corporate and personal income tax exemptions.

Most Free Zones in the UAE offer a range of licenses including trading, service, industrial, national industrial, and branch licenses. Depending on your business requirements, you can establish different types of Free Zone companies:

• Free Zone Establishment (FZE) – Single shareholder
• Free Zone Company (FZC) – Two or more shareholders
• Branch Company – Branch of a local or foreign company

Setting up a business in the UAE mainland requires obtaining a license from the Department of Economic Development (DED). Grantson Consulting will assist you with all the required paperwork, help identify a suitable local partner, and kickstart your business operations efficiently.
