Company Closure Services

Company Closure Services in Dubai

Making the decision to close your business is never easy—but once that decision is made, navigating the company liquidation process professionally becomes crucial. At Smart Biz, we specialize in providing comprehensive company closure services that ensure your business is legally and financially dissolved with minimal complications.

Over the years, we’ve supported hundreds of clients in the UAE through efficient business liquidation, helping them reduce legal liabilities, safeguard personal assets, and wrap up operations smoothly.

What Happens During Company Closure Services in the UAE?

Company closure—also referred to as liquidation, dissolution, or winding up—is the legal process of formally shutting down a business registered in the UAE, whether it is a Mainland Company, Free Zone Entity, or a Sole Establishment. During this process, the company’s remaining assets are used to settle outstanding debts, and any remaining funds are distributed among shareholders or owners in accordance with UAE regulations.

When Does Liquidation Become Necessary?

Liquidation typically becomes mandatory or voluntary under the following circumstances:

  • The company is no longer financially solvent and cannot meet daily operational expenses

  • Creditors are not being paid due to insufficient cash flow

  • The company has committed a serious legal or regulatory violation

  • The owners voluntarily choose to exit the market and shut down operations

Depending on the situation, liquidation can either be a compulsory process (initiated by a court or creditor) or a voluntary decision made by the shareholders.
