Stress-Free Company Liquidation

For a solvent SME the timeline is usually 45–60 days, split into two phases: Phase 1 (7–15 days): Prepare board resolution, appoint liquidator, file with the authority, and place the public notice. Phase 2 (30–45 days): Newspaper notice period, labour/visa cancellations, VAT de-registration, bank account closure, final NOCs, and certificate issue. Complex cases—outstanding lawsuits, unpaid fines, or leased warehouses—can extend the process. Our pre-check engine flags such risks early so you can resolve them in parallel.

Minimum set: original trade licence, MOA/AOA, shareholder or board resolution, latest audited financials, liquidator's acceptance letter, passport copies of shareholders, and a bank clearance letter. Free Zones may add office-exit inspection reports or warehouse clearance forms. DocuBay auto-generates a personalised checklist for your jurisdiction and sends reminders until everything is uploaded.

Yes, but every liability must be cleared before the deregistration certificate is released. DocuBay's platform connects to MOHRE, GDRFA, and DED APIs to retrieve outstanding penalties in real time. You can pay directly inside the dashboard, eliminating surprise blocks at the final step.

Absolutely. We have direct portals or service-level agreements with DMCC, IFZA, Meydan, JAFZA, RAKEZ, and more. That means faster approval cycles, pre-negotiated liquidator fees, and automated booking of mandatory exit inspections.

Remote shareholders can e-sign the liquidation resolution using UAE Pass or DocuBay's encrypted e-signature tool. If a shareholder cannot sign digitally, we guide you through notarisation and attestation via courier, ensuring the document meets UAE legal standards.

Yes. Once every clearance is in place, the authority issues a Deregistration or Licence Cancellation Certificate. DocuBay uploads a PDF copy to your dashboard, emails it to all shareholders, and stores it permanently in your secure document vault—ready to present to banks, landlords, or future regulators.
