Home / Company Liquidation
Close your company properly: liquidator reports, clearances, visa cancellations and licence cancellation without lingering fines or bans.
Walking away from a UAE licence does not end it: renewals keep falling due, fines accrue, immigration files stay open and directors can face travel and future-licensing problems. Proper liquidation clears every obligation and issues a cancellation certificate that ends liability cleanly.
The process spans board resolutions, liquidator appointment (mainland LLCs), newspaper notice periods, clearances from immigration, labour, customs, DEWA, telecoms and the FTA (final VAT and corporate tax deregistration), employee visa cancellations and gratuity settlement, then final licence cancellation. Pro24 sequences all of it so nothing blocks the final certificate.
A clean exit that protects your future in the UAE.
Every clearance ordered correctly so none blocks another.

Free zone closures typically total AED 5,000 to 12,000 including authority fees; mainland LLC liquidations with liquidator and publication typically AED 8,000 to 15,000, plus settlement of any accrued fines. Exact figures come from the exit audit.
Free zones: 2 to 8 weeks. Mainland: about 2 to 3 months including the 45-day notice period. Open fines or missing tax filings extend this, which is why the audit comes first.
Fines must be settled before cancellation, but we frequently negotiate reductions and instalments; ignoring them only compounds the total.
Visas under the licence are cancelled during the process; we time yours last and can bridge you to a new status (own company, employment or Golden Visa) so you are not caught out of status.
Free exit audit: send your licence copy and we return the full closure cost and timeline.
