Company liquidation can be a scary financial and legal puzzle to navigate, more so when your business thrives in the business world of Dubai. Whether you are at the end of your operational run or encountering difficulties enabling you to continue, company liquidation in Dubai presents itself as a legal way of closing down the business operations of your company in an orderly and structured manner. With a thorough understanding of the field, AR Associates offers best company liquidation services Dubai and the UAE as a whole, allowing business owners to enjoy a smooth and speedy process when liquidating their company.
Company liquidation is a formal process in which the company’s assets are sold off or redistributed to pay its debts and legitimately dissolve the company. UAE law guides the process, taking care to treat creditors fairly and stakeholders as accountable members. Not only does it mean that you close the business operations but also that you clear out any outstanding debts, demand assets and then deregister the business.
There are different types of company liquidation: there are two types of company liquidation, compulsory liquidation, usually under court order because of insolvency, or other legal causes; and voluntary liquidation, on the shareholders’ initiative. In both types of liquidation, AR Associations provides comprehensive, full compliance with Dubai regulatory framework.

Liquidation of a company typically follows a series of structured steps. While these may vary depending on whether the liquidation is voluntary or compulsory, here’s a general outline:
The first step in the liquidation of a company is a board resolution that the company will cease to be operational. This has to be officially documented.
The entire process must be undertaken by a licensed liquidator. When the liquidation occurs, the liquidator is held responsible for it — from selling assets to distributing proceeds to creditors.
When the liquidator is appointed, the company is required to also officially notify relevant government agencies such as Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED) for the deregistration process.
A vital part of the process is identifying creditors and settling any outstanding liabilities. When a company is liquidated, who gets paid first? Usually the first claim to the company’s assets belong to secured creditors, then unsecured creditors, employees and shareholders.
When the debts are paid off and assets given out, the liquidator writes up a final audit report. A liquidation certificate is then issued stating that company has been fully dissolved.
The business is officially closed, and the company’s name is dropped from the trade registry.
When a company is liquidated, who gets paid first? Who gets paid first when a company is liquidated? For business owners and creditors this is an important question. Under UAE law, secured creditors, those with collateral supporting their claims, are called to the front of the line. Just behind them are unsecured creditors, employees with unpaid wages, and, at last, shareholders who get whatever’s left over if all the debts have been paid.
