Board Resolutions & Shareholder Approvals in Dubai
Start Your Liquidation with Legally Valid Documentation
Company liquidation in Dubai begins with the proper internal approvals. We draft and notarize your Board Resolution and Shareholder Consent, ensuring compliance with UAE Commercial Companies Law and Free Zone regulations. Fast, accurate, and legally recognized.
What Is a Board Resolution for Liquidation?
A Board Resolution is an official corporate decision confirming the company’s intent to dissolve or liquidate its operations. In Dubai, this is a mandatory first step in both mainland and free zone company closures.
It must:
- Be passed in a formal board meeting
- Include the appointment of a licensed liquidator
- Be notarized and submitted to the licensing authority (DED, DMCC, JAFZA, etc.)
What Is Shareholder Approval?
A Shareholder Resolution (or Consent) confirms that all partners or shareholders agree to liquidate the company. This is required even if one shareholder holds majority control.
It typically includes:
- Confirmation of the intent to liquidate
- Approval of the appointed liquidator
- Authorization to submit deregistration documents

Frequently Asked Questions?
Can I write my own board resolution?
No. Authorities require it in a specific legal format, often bilingual, and notarized. DIY documents are typically rejected.
What if a shareholder is abroad?
We can coordinate remote approvals and Power of Attorney setup if needed.
Is this required for sole proprietorships?
No, but for LLCs, FZCOs, JSCs, and branches, resolutions are mandatory.
Do I need to name a liquidator in the resolution?
Yes. UAE law requires the appointed liquidator to be clearly stated in both board and shareholder approvals.
