Company Liquidation - NEXORA Business Consultancy

Company Liquidation Services in Dubai and the UAE

Closing a company in the UAE involves more than cancelling a trade licence. Depending on your structure, you may need to settle liabilities, cancel employee visas, deregister for VAT and corporate tax, close bank accounts and obtain final approvals from several authorities. NEXORA Business Consultancy helps business owners review their position and coordinate each step of the liquidation process in an organized way.

I had an excellent experience with Mohammad from Nexora Business Consultancy located in Port Saeed, Dubai. He assisted me with the complete process of visa stamping and Emirates ID printing for my daughter, and his service was extremely professional, efficient, and quick. He offered the best available price in the market without compromising on quality or support. Everything was handled smoothly, with clear communication and timely updates throughout the process. I truly appreciate his reliability and dedication. Another great feature is that everything is literally done online. Highly recommended for anyone looking for fast, affordable, and trustworthy visa and Emirates ID services in Dubai.

I'm putting in a 4-star because I did not deal with them directly and instead recommended their services to someone who was highly impressed with the agility and accuracy of their services. He put in a strong word about them. Plus, they have a range of services from accounting to taxation to business set up consultation. So, it's a fast-growing boutique providing varied services.

How long does company liquidation take in Dubai?

Timing depends on the company structure, authority, outstanding obligations and document readiness. A confirmed timeline is possible after reviewing the specific case.

Is cancelling a trade licence the same as liquidating a company?

Not always. Licence cancellation is one step; liquidation may also involve final accounts, visa cancellations, tax deregistration and clearing liabilities.

Can I liquidate a company with outstanding dues or fines?

Outstanding amounts generally need to be reviewed and settled or cleared as part of the process, depending on the authority involved.

Do I need to deregister for VAT and corporate tax?

If the company is registered, deregistration may be required with the Federal Tax Authority. We review your registrations and advise the applicable steps.

What happens to employee visas when a company closes?

Employee visas are generally cancelled, and end-of-service dues need to be handled according to UAE labour requirements.

Can I close a company if I am outside the UAE?

In many cases, parts of the process can be handled through authorized signatories or a power of attorney, subject to authority requirements.
