Company liquidation is a legal insolvency process that concludes the operations of a business. When a company goes through liquidation, its assets are sold to pay off its debts, liabilities, and commitments. Often known as ‘winding down’, the business license of a company is cancelled upon liquidation, its name is deleted from the Trade Registry, and the firm is considered to have ended. There can be diverse reasons for liquidation, the major ones are: - The expiry of license/ duration stated in the articles of incorporation/ association or the accomplishment of the objective for which the entity was set up - The loss of all or a major portion of the entity’s assets - Mergers - Shareholders’ approval that the entity’s term of existence can be brought to an end as per the stipulated majority, etc. When a firm can no longer pay its debts, it might be dissolved either voluntarily or forcibly by authorities. There are two types of company liquidation methods under UAE law: 1. Liquidation on a voluntary basis There are various reasons for a corporation to voluntarily wind up, including the expiration of a defined period, the achievement of the firm’s mission, abandonment of the goals, merging with another firm, ongoing commercial setbacks, and the company’s failure to afford its obligations. 2.
