DMCC Approved Liquidators in UAE

The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) is one of Dubai’s premier free zones, home to thousands of companies across commodities, trade, and professional services. When a DMCC-registered company decides to cease operations, It must undergo a formal liquidation process governed by the DMCC Company Regulations (originally issued 2020 and amended by the DMCC Company Regulations 2024) and the official DMCC guidance notes.This process ensures that all financial obligations are settled, assets are distributed, and the company is legally dissolved under regulatory oversight. A key requirement is the publication of a public notice to inform creditors and stakeholders. Importantly, only DMCC-approved liquidators are authorized to manage this process, ensuring compliance with legal standards.
