Closing a UAE company means clearing the licence, the immigration and visa file, bank accounts and any office obligations, in the order the authorities expect. We review where your company stands first, then map the route and work through it with you.
Closed through the authority that issued them, a mainland department or a free zone, each with its own requirements.
Residence visas the company sponsors and its establishment or immigration card are cancelled as part of the closure.
Any labour file and end-of-service obligations are settled for the people the company employs.
Corporate accounts are closed once balances and pending payments are cleared.
The lease, Ejari or flexi-desk agreement is ended in line with its terms.
VAT or corporate tax registrations are closed with their final returns, where the company holds them.
Licensed, but it never traded, hired or opened an account.
Operations have ended, but the licence and its files are still open.
Visas and the company have to close in the right order.
The wrong jurisdiction or activity, with a new entity taking over.
The yearly licence, visa and office costs outweigh what the company is used for.
Renewals are lapsing and penalties may be building.
An expired licence may need renewing, or penalties settling, before it can be cancelled.
Visas the company still sponsors are cancelled first.
Any open labour file and end-of-service dues are settled.
The lease, Ejari or flexi-desk agreement is ended.
Balances, pending payments and cheques are cleared so the bank can close the account.
The resolution to close is signed, with attestation where signatories are abroad.

Visas, lease, renewals and tax brought to a closable state.

Resolution to close, passports, attested signatures where needed.
Establishment card, visa copies, lease or Ejari.
Bank closure letter, tax registrations and final returns.
Every filing, deadline, and document — on iOS and Android. The same evidence you see in the console, now portable.
Tell us the licensing authority, the licence status and who the company sponsors. We confirm whether it can close now or what has to be settled first.
No obligation. We tell you if it is not the right route.
Business banking
We assess your business profile, prepare the evidence banks need, and guide you through the right application route.
Corporate tax
UAE corporate tax registration, annual returns, and the deadlines that carry penalties.
Renewals & filings
Licence, establishment card, chamber, tenancy, visas and tax returns each renew on their own clock. We put them on one, and run it.
Visas and residence
Every hire is a sequence of government steps. Missing one restarts the clock.
Sonsoto quoted us a line-item budget for the licence, visas and the bank pack up front. Nothing crept in later. That alone was worth the fee.
I’d already been rejected by two banks. Sonsoto told me why, changed the pack, and we opened with WIO in three weeks. Straight answers, no theatre.
They caught a corporate-tax filing we were about to miss and re-scoped the renewals so we stopped paying twice for the same work. Now they run everything.
We’d spoken to four firms and got four different price sheets. Sonsoto was the only one that showed us where the extras came from — and we didn’t need them.
Golden Visa done, family visas done, licence renewed. Same team, same WhatsApp thread. I don’t chase PRO agents anymore.
They told me RAK was a better fit than Dubai for our margin. I’d already paid a deposit somewhere else. They still refunded my Sonsoto retainer and helped me exit.
