Closing a company correctly protects your future in the UAE. Closing it incorrectly follows you for years. Outstanding liabilities, unresolved visa cancellations, and incomplete license cancellations do not disappear when you stop operating — they accumulate. At DM Consultancy, we manage the full liquidation process from start to final clearance certificate, with the same structure and compliance attention we bring to every setup.
The most common and costly mistake is assuming that a company closes automatically when you stop operating. It does not.
An unrenewed license remains a registered entity in the UAE. Authority fees, late renewal penalties, and administrative fines continue to accumulate on a company that is no longer operating. These liabilities follow the owner — not just the company..
Learn howIf employee or investor visas are not formally cancelled through the correct authority process, outstanding labour or immigration obligations remain open. This can affect your ability to obtain future UAE visas or work in the countryc.
See pricingUAE corporate bank accounts cannot simply be abandoned. Outstanding balances, direct debits, and KYC obligations require formal closure through the bank. We coordinate this as part of every liquidation engagement.
See timelineA structured, accountable process — built on the work we've already done together.
If DM Consultancy handled your setup, we have your company structure, visa list, tax registration history, and banking details already. Liquidation for existing clients requires significantly less documentation — no starting from scratch, no repeating information we already hold.
Before we begin, we review your outstanding liabilities — government fines, visa status, tax deregistration requirements, and bank account obligations. You know exactly what needs to be settled and in what order before a single document is submitted.
You work with Manish directly throughout the liquidation. Not handed to a junior. Not managed by a team that does not know your file. Every step is confirmed with you before it is executed.

Find quick answers to the most common questions about UAE company formation, visas, banking, and ongoing business support.
We handle liquidations for all UAE companies regardless of who handled the original setup. The process is the same. We review your company documents, outstanding obligations, and authority requirements at the start of the engagement — no prior relationship with DM Consultancy is needed.
The process is legally possible without an agent, but the steps are specific and sequenced. Missing a step — particularly around visa cancellations or tax deregistration — can result in authority penalties or delays to the final clearance certificate. Most clients find that the cost of professional coordination is significantly less than the cost of correcting errors.
Employee dues must be settled before the liquidation can be completed. We coordinate visa cancellations and Labour Ministry notifications as part of the engagement. The sequence of employee-related steps is part of the process plan we share with you at the assessment stage.
Freezone liquidations typically complete in 45–50 days. Mainland liquidations range from 60–85 days depending on the complexity of outstanding obligations. The main variable is government processing time — we ensure everything on our side is prepared and submitted without delay.
Outstanding fines must be settled before the final clearance certificate can be issued. We identify all outstanding liabilities at the assessment stage and give you a clear picture of what needs to be settled, in what order, and by when. Settlement is your responsibility — coordination is ours.
A short conversation is all it takes to understand what your liquidation involves, what it costs, and how long it will take. No obligation, no charge for the initial assessment.
