The liquidator is responsible for overseeing the process and ensuring that all creditors and shareholders are treated fairly. In the UAE, liquidators must be licensed professionals, typically accountants or lawyers, with experience in corporate liquidation.

  5. Notifying Creditors Before proceeding with liquidation, the company must notify its creditors of its intent to liquidate. This allows creditors to make their claims and ensures transparency in the process. All debts and liabilities must be settled during the liquidation process.

  6. Obtaining Relevant Approvals Depending on the type of company (Free Zone or Mainland) and its structure, obtaining approvals from relevant government authorities is a critical step. This may include approvals from the Department of Economic Development (DED) for mainland companies or the respective Free Zone Authority for companies registered in free zones.

  7. Settlement of Debts and Liabilities Clearing all debts, liabilities, and financial obligations is mandatory. This includes settling employee dues, outstanding loans, and vendor payments. The company's assets will be used for this purpose.

  8. Cancelling Licenses and Permits The company must cancel all licenses and permits it holds with government authorities. Fines and legal issues may follow failure to do so.

  9. Final Audit and Financial Statements A final audit and financial statements are required as part of the liquidation process. These documents provide a clear picture of the company's financial position at the time of liquidation.
