About

What is Company Liquidation?

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.

Company Liquidation in Dubai: Key Considerations

However, for those businesses who are thinking of liquidating their company in Dubai, it is important to know the intricate details of the process. UAE has quite clear and transparent regulations but the fact is many events can prolong the duration as well as complexity of the process.

A frequent question we receive is, how long can a company stay in liquidation? The time frame for liquidation in the UAE is generally somewhere between 3 to 6 months. The time frame however may depend on the complexity of the business, its asset portfolio as well as the debts.

How it Works?

Steps in the Liquidation of a Company

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:

Board Resolution

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.

Appointing a Liquidator

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.

Notifying the Authorities

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.

Settling Debts

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.

Final Audit and Liquidation Certificate

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.

Deregistration

The business is officially closed, and the company’s name is dropped from the trade registry.

Who Gets Paid First in a Company Liquidation?

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.
