Walking away isn't closing down. We handle a proper company liquidation — licence cancellation, visa cancellation, tax deregistration and the official liquidation report — so you exit with no fines and no loose ends.
Closing a company is a sequence that has to be done in the right order. We run all of it so nothing is left open behind you.
A dormant free-zone company and a VAT-registered mainland company with staff are very different jobs. We price to your actual situation.
Illustrative service fees — the final cost depends on visas, tax status and your zone's process, plus government fees at cost. A proper liquidation is what stops fines accruing after you stop trading.
I thought I'd closed my company by not renewing — then found fines still piling up. Bizvisor did it properly, deregistered everything, and got me a clean clearance.
What founders ask about closing a UAE company. Anything else — AgentBiz answers instantly.
Ask AgentBizNo — that's the costliest mistake. An un-cancelled company keeps accruing licence fines and can leave visas, tax registrations and bank obligations open, risking blacklisting of the owners. A formal liquidation officially closes the company so nothing accrues.
Depending on your structure: a shareholder resolution and liquidator, cancelling all visas and establishment cards, VAT and corporate-tax deregistration, settling liabilities, obtaining clearances, and (for many mainland companies) a notice period and newspaper publication before final licence cancellation.
Yes — if you're registered, you must deregister with the FTA and file any final returns, or penalties continue. We handle the deregistration as part of the liquidation so your tax file is properly closed.
A simple free-zone or dormant company can be a few weeks; a mainland company with staff, a notice period and publication typically takes longer. We give you a realistic timeline once we've reviewed your situation.
All employee, investor and family visas and establishment cards must be cancelled as part of the process. We handle the cancellations in the correct order so the licence can be closed and no immigration liabilities are left open.
Our service fee starts from around AED 3,000 for a simple close-down (illustrative), rising with the number of visas, tax status and your zone's requirements, plus government fees at cost. We scope it precisely before you commit.
Tell AgentBiz your company type and what's still open — visas, tax, staff — for an instant liquidation plan and quote, or talk to an advisor. Close it properly.
