Dubai Company Liquidation From AED 4,500 — Clean Closure, Zero Fines.

Dubai company liquidation starts at AED 4,500 all‑in through YABS in 2026 for free zone companies and AED 7,500 for mainland LLCs. The package includes board resolution, MoA amendment, gazette publication, visa and labour cancellations, FTA VAT and corporate tax deregistration, liquidator’s report, and final license cancellation certificate.

UAE company liquidation typically takes 45–90 days from start to final closure. The mandatory 45‑day newspaper gazette objection period is unavoidable. Mainland LLCs take longer (60–90 days) due to court notarisation requirements. Free zone liquidations are faster (45–60 days). Any outstanding VAT or corporate tax must be settled before closure.

Letting a UAE trade license expire without formal liquidation triggers severe consequences: AED 5,000+ in late renewal fines, personal blacklisting of all directors and shareholders, visa cancellation blocks, and inability to form a new UAE company until the old one is formally closed. Always use proper liquidation — it’s cheaper than the fines and blacklist fees.

Yes. All UAE companies must file their final corporate tax return and settle any outstanding liability before the FTA will issue a tax clearance certificate required for deregistration. YABS prepares final financial statements, files the closing corporate tax return, and obtains the FTA clearance as part of every liquidation package.

No. Once a UAE company is formally liquidated and its license cancelled, it cannot be reactivated — you’d need to form a brand‑new company with a new trade name and license. If you want to pause rather than close, consider license suspension (where available) or a dormant company status. YABS advises on the right option in your free consultation.
