Company Liquidation In Saudi Arabia
Company liquidation in Saudi Arabia is the formal legal process of closing a business entity and removing it from the Commercial Register. Whether due to business restructuring, project completion, or operational shutdown, liquidation must be done according to the regulations of the Ministry of Commerce, ZATCA, GOSI, and other relevant authorities. MFD Services helps companies manage full liquidation — from board resolutions to final tax clearance — while ensuring every legal obligation is met.
Why Company Liquidation Requires Professional Handling In Saudi Arabia With MFD Services
Liquidation isn’t just shutting the doors — it’s a multi-step legal process that requires closing out licenses, notifying ministries, finalizing taxes, and settling employee dues. A small mistake can result in fines, blacklisting, or blocked re-registration in the future.
MFD Services manages the liquidation from start to finish, ensuring all departments are properly informed, documentation is filed in sequence, and final deregistration is issued without unnecessary delays.

All registered companies and branches can undergo formal liquidation, including:
- Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
- Joint Stock Companies
- Foreign Branches
- Professional Firms

- Joint Ventures and Partnerships
MFD confirms the entity type and selects the correct legal route for liquidation based on the company’s structure and ownership.

What Are The Legal Requirements For Company Liquidation In Saudi Arabia?
The liquidation process begins with a board or shareholder resolution. This is followed by CR updates, public notice publication, GOSI and tax finalizations, and eventually removal from the Commercial Register. ZATCA requires final returns and clearance before deregistration.
MFD handles each stage, preparing resolutions, coordinating with ministries, and ensuring no step is missed — especially during tax and labor clearance.

The following documents are commonly needed during company liquidation:
- Board or Shareholder Resolution to Liquidate
- Commercial Registration (CR)
- ZATCA Certificate and Tax Filings
- GOSI Employee Final Reports
- Lease Termination (if applicable)
- Final Financial Statements
- Power of Attorney (if MFD is filing on your behalf)
- Public Notice Publication Proof
MFD ensures all documentation is in order, signed, and submitted to the right authority at the right time.
Company Liquidation Cost, Duration, And Process
Estimated Pricing
Company liquidation fees vary depending on company size, industry, and document readiness. Basic closures start from SAR 5,000 and may go up to SAR 15,000 for complex cases involving multiple authorities or foreign shareholders. Final pricing is confirmed after reviewing all obligations and licenses.
Estimated Timeline
The process usually takes 15 to 30 business days, depending on ministry response times and clearance status. Delays often occur due to unpaid dues, GOSI or ZATCA mismatches, or outdated documents.
How The Process Works
We begin with a review of the company’s current standing. After preparing the resolution, we initiate the closure in the Ministry of Commerce system, publish the legal notice, and manage all tax and social insurance finalizations. Once approvals are secured, the company is officially removed from the registry and provided with final clearance certificates.

How Company Liquidation Links To Tax, GOSI, And Labor Obligations
Company closure requires full clearance from ZATCA, GOSI, and other departments. Final tax returns must be filed, employees deregistered, and any disputes or penalties settled. If these steps are skipped or poorly handled, liquidation may be blocked indefinitely.
MFD coordinates across all departments to close everything out in order, preventing problems from spilling into future ventures.
