Business Liquidation Services in UAE

A business resolution service in UAE is the process through which the company has to reclaim and close down all its commercial activities. If it is determined that a company’s services cannot continue, the company must be closed. This can happen for a variety of reasons.

The company’s liabilities can significantly exceed its assets, putting the company at risk of bankruptcy. If operations cannot continue, the company must close. The liquidation of a company can also be optional if the management has decided to close it for known reasons. After the liquidation process, all of the company’s assets are used to pay off all of the company’s liabilities. If any assets remain after all business liabilities have been settled, they are sold and the profits are shared among the directors and shareholders.

Types of Liquidation

Compulsory liquidation and voluntary liquidation are the two main types of insolvent company liquidations

Compulsory liquidation

If a company’s debts are not properly paid, creditors can ask the courts to wind it up so they can get their money. To pay off existing debts, the courts can force a company to liquidate and sell its assets. In the event of forced liquidation, a liquidator can be appointed by the shareholders by resolution or by a court.

Voluntary liquidation

The dissolution of a company accepted by the shareholders is known as voluntary liquidation. When a business owner determines that the business no longer makes sense to continue, such a decision is made.
