Business Setup & Liquidation Services

Practical company formation, licensing and liquidation support for mainland and free zone businesses. We handle formation, license changes, corporate restructuring and deregistration with local expertise to reduce delays and regulatory friction.

Setting up or winding down a business in the UAE requires precise local knowledge of mainland and free zone rules, licensing authorities and bank onboarding expectations. Whether you are forming a new entity, amending an existing licence, restructuring for growth or exiting the market, the right process reduces cost, avoids regulatory penalties and protects stakeholder interests. Our services are designed to make each step efficient, compliant and commercially sensible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find clear, authoritative answers to the most common questions regarding our BUSINESS SETUP & LIQUIDATION SERVICES in the UAE.

Should I set up in a Free Zone or Mainland?
It depends on your target market. Mainland allows trading anywhere in the UAE, while Free Zones offer 100% foreign ownership and tax benefits but restrict local market trading without a local agent.
How long does it take to liquidate a company?
Company liquidation typically takes between 2 to 4 months, involving newspaper advertisements, clearance from utilities, and final cancellation from the licensing authority.
Is a liquidator mandatory for closing a company?
Yes, most jurisdictions in the UAE require a registered liquidator to prepare a final liquidation report before officially closing the entity.
Can a foreign national own 100% of a Mainland company?
Yes, recent changes to the Commercial Companies Law allow 100% foreign ownership for numerous commercial and industrial activities on the Mainland.
What is a local sponsor?
Historically, a local sponsor (UAE National) was required to hold 51% of a Mainland LLC. While still required for certain restricted activities, many sectors now permit full foreign ownership.
What happens to employees during company liquidation?
Employees must have their visas cancelled, and all end-of-service benefits and outstanding salaries must be settled before the company can be fully liquidated.
Can I convert a Free Zone company to a Mainland company?
Direct conversion is generally not possible. You typically need to set up a new entity or open a branch of the Free Zone company in the Mainland.
