Similarly, a holding company or a subsidiary requires a notarized Corporate Board resolution. All the shareholders must sign and details of all shareholders must be included along with the board resolution. 

Once, the board resolution is ready, the General manager must resign and clear all the dues relating to the company with the creditors, suppliers, Free Zone authorities, other government bodies, banks, and more. All employee visas must be cancelled and their monthly dues must be settled. Also, there is an exit survey that the authorized signatory must attend as part of the company closing procedure.

RAK Customs ( For owners of warehouses and Land/plots)
Chamber of Commerce ( if applicable)
Environment Protection Department ( For industrial License holders)
Telecommunications provider (Etisalat/ Du)
Federal Electricity and Water Authority
All other miscellaneous dues from the Free Zone Authority

Once, all the clearances are obtained, proceed with the submission of the required documents along with the company closing application form. Then proceed to the payment for initiating the company closing.

Also, before proceeding with the company closing request, ensure the company clears all Visas of the employees. The visa cancellation form must be submitted to the RAKEZ Authority depending on the active visas the company holds.
