Company Closure Process in Ras Al Khaimah Freezone

Closing shop? Whether it’s a strategic decision or a necessary step, shuttering a business in Ras Al Khaimah Freezone involves a meticulous process that every investor needs to navigate. Not to worry, though – Registered Agents like Rotanabiz can kickstart the Company Closing journey in the Ras Al Khaimah Freezone.

Closing Procedures

  1. Submission of Application Form: The first dance move in this closing tango involves the submission of the company closing application form to the Ras Al Khaimah Freezone Authorities. Rotanabiz, acting on behalf of the investor, takes the lead.
  2. Declaration of Closure Reason: The owner must wear their honesty hat and provide a declaration stating the reason for the company’s closure.
  3. Notarized Letter: To initiate the process, a signed letter must be notarized and handed over to the Free Zone Licensing authority. If the owner is globe-trotting, they can notarize the letter from the UAE Embassy and send the original to the authorities.
  4. Corporate Board Resolution for Holdings: In the case of a holding company or a subsidiary, a notarized Corporate Board resolution is a must. All shareholders need to sign, and their details, along with the board resolution, must be on the table.
  5. Management Moves: Once the board resolution is polished, the General Manager takes a bow, resigns, and settles all dues with creditors, suppliers, Free Zone authorities, government bodies, banks, and the whole shebang. Employee visas? Cancelled and settled.
  6. Exit Survey: Don’t forget the exit survey – the authorized signatory must attend as part of the company closing protocol.

Clearance Checklist

But wait, there’s more! The company needs a clearance certificate from various Free Zone Departments:

  • RAK Customs: For owners of warehouses and land/plots.
  • Chamber of Commerce: If applicable.
  • Environment Protection Department: Essential for industrial license holders.
  • Telecommunications Provider (Etisalat/Du)
  • Federal Electricity and Water Authority
  • Miscellaneous Dues: Clear all other dues with the Free Zone Authority.

Final Steps

  1. Document Submission: Once all clearances are in hand, submit the required documents and the company closing application form.
  2. Payment: Pay up to kickstart the official company closing.
  3. Visa Clearance: Before you take the closing plunge, ensure all employee visas are in check. Submit the visa cancellation form to the Ras Al Khaimah Freezone Authority based on the active visas the company holds.
  4. Collect the Prize: As the grand finale, collect the Company Closing letter/Company Liquidation Certificate from the Ras Al Khaimah Freezone Authority. With this in hand, the company bids adieu to Ras Al Khaimah Freezone, officially closing its doors to any future trade or business operations.
