Closing a business while the local service agent is not reachable
Hi,
We have a professional services license (2 partners) + 1 local service agent registered with DED, Dubai.
The partners wish to close the business because of unavoidable circumstances. We wish to proceed with all the necessary paperwork for cancellation.
Unfortunately, the local service agent is not available. We have been trying to connect to him multiple times but have not been able to reach him.
The due date for the renewal of the company is coming up and we want to proceed with all the paperwork for cancellation prior to that.
Kindly advise us about the options if the local service agent is unavailable.
Dear Questioner,
Good Day!
On the letterhead of the company, we just need a letter that there is no outstanding to the LSA and there are no liabilities on the company.
A clearance from immigration stating no pending visas for employees on the company.
For further details, we need to see the company documents.
Kindly send an email with details!
Thanks,

Dear Client,
Good day!
Yes, if the Local Service Agent is not answering, what you can do is, first, send him a notice officially asking to appear and to do the procedure for the company.
If he doesn't come in, you can go directly to the court and ask for changing the local service agent to a new person, bring a new person, complete and get a court order for that.
You need lawyers to handle it. You should come to our office so that we can help you with this matter.
For further assistance, please feel free to contact us via phone or email.
Thank you!
