DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) is one of Dubai's largest and most active free zones. DMCC company liquidation requires a DMCC-approved auditor/liquidator, mandatory submission of a liquidation audit report, and specific board resolution formatting. DMCC submissions are made via the DMCC Member Portal (dmcc.ae), and the process includes multiple sequential approvals. A DMCC liquidation typically takes 6–8 weeks; it can run longer where employee visas, FTA deregistration or outstanding obligations have to be cleared first. Aabi is a DMCC-approved liquidator and auditor.
DMCC Company Liquidation Process — Step by Step
- DMCC-Formatted Board Resolution
A board resolution in DMCC's required format is passed and signed by all shareholders/directors, resolving to wind up the company and appointing Aabi as DMCC-approved liquidator. - Liquidation Request via DMCC Member Portal
The liquidation application is submitted through the DMCC Member Portal. DMCC reviews and acknowledges, after which the company directors' duties are formally suspended. - Clearance of All Outstanding DMCC Obligations
All DMCC licence fees, facility charges, and penalties must be fully settled. DMCC Finance Department confirmation is required before closure can proceed. - Visa Cancellations
All DMCC-sponsored employment, investor, and dependent visas are cancelled. Aabi's PRO team coordinates through DMCC's visa systems. - FTA Deregistration
FTA VAT and Corporate Tax deregistration processed concurrently by Aabi's tax team. - DMCC Liquidation Audit Report
Aabi's DMCC-approved auditors prepare the mandatory liquidation audit report — a formal audit confirming all assets and liabilities are settled. This is a non-negotiable DMCC requirement. - Final DMCC Portal Submission
The completed audit report and all clearance letters are submitted to DMCC via the Member Portal. - DMCC Termination Letter / Deregistration Certificate
DMCC issues the final termination letters and deregistration confirmation, legally closing the company.

Frequently Asked Questions — DMCC Company Liquidation
Why does DMCC liquidation require an approved liquidator?
DMCC mandates that only auditing and accounting firms formally approved by DMCC can act as liquidators for DMCC company closures. The approved liquidator is responsible for preparing the mandatory liquidation audit report. Without an approved liquidator, DMCC will not process the closure. Aabi is a DMCC-approved liquidator.
What is the DMCC liquidation audit report?
The liquidation audit report is a formal audited statement of the company's financial affairs at the date of dissolution, confirming all assets have been identified and distributed and all creditor claims addressed. DMCC requires this from a DMCC-approved auditor. Aabi prepares this as part of the full liquidation service.
