6 Liquidation
Company liquidation, also known as License Termination & License Cancellation, is the process by which a business winds up its operations when it is no longer able to continue. The procedures and requirements for liquidation vary depending on the zone. The rules and processes for liquidation differ in all zones. Winding up a company is a complex task that involves a considerable amount of paperwork and legal work.
- Liquidating a company in Dubai can be a complex and time consuming process, but our team of experienced liquidators in the UAE can simplify the legal procedures and assist you throughout the entire process. If your company is struggling to generate enough revenue to cover its expenses or has accumulated significant debt, we can help.
- At Cognitas we prepare a comprehensive Liquidator’s report, also known as a No Liability Letter, which is prepared by a professional auditor. We then issue an Appointment of Liquidator’s Letter to inform the licensing authority followed by a Final Liquidator’s report that verifies all possible liabilities of the company.
The type of Liquidation to be chosen depends on the circumstances that invite the windup of the company. Below mentioned are the following types in which Company Liquidation can be conducted.
- Summary Winding up : This type of wind is done when the director of the company declares that within a period of 6 months the company can wound up.
- Solvent Winding Up: This type of wind is done when the director of the company declares that within a period of 12 months the company can wound up.
- Insolvent Voluntary Winding Up: This type of wind is done when the company has to pay off the debts to its creditors. As the name suggests, this wind-up is voluntarily done by the company.

Overall, it is best to avoid getting into a situation where you have even a remote chance of being unable to repay your credit card bills. It is preferable to avoid getting into such situations than to suffer later. Try to use your credit card as little as possible. Even if you use your credit card frequently, make sure that your monthly bill does not exceed your monthly income.
