This occurs when a company’s shareholders or directors decide to wind up the business voluntarily. Common reasons for voluntary liquidation include business restructuring, shareholder disputes, or strategic decisions.

This type of liquidation is initiated by a court order, usually due to the company’s insolvency, failure to comply with legal requirements, or other serious issues.

The liquidator will help the company obtain the required approvals from relevant government authorities, such as the Department of Economic Development (DED) or the respective free zone authority, and other entities like the Ministry of Labor and Immigration Department.
C. Settle liabilities and cancel licenses:
The liquidator will assist the company in settling its outstanding liabilities, such as taxes, employee salaries, and creditor payments. After settling the liabilities, the liquidator will obtain clearance certificates and cancel the company’s licenses and permits.
