COMMON QUESTIONS

Know before you proceed.

How long does a Sharjah mainland licence take?

It can be issued in as little as one business day via SEDD when all requirements are met.

What does a trade name cost at SEDD?

SEDD publishes government trade-name fees that vary by type (an Arabic name, a translated name, a foreign name, or a 3-month reservation). These are government fees that can change, so we confirm the current figures live before quoting.

Can I own 100% of a Sharjah mainland company?

Yes for most commercial and industrial activities since the 2021 reform. Some activities still need an Emirati partner or agent, so we verify per activity with SEDD.

Which Sharjah free zone is cheapest to start?

SHAMS and SPC Free Zone advertise packages from around AED 5,750 per year (indicative). The cheapest option depends on your activity and visa needs, so we confirm current package pricing before quoting.

Do I need an office to get a Sharjah licence?

Mainland requires an attested tenancy; e-commerce and home-based (Etmad) licences do not need commercial premises; free zones offer flexi-desks.

Who issues my Sharjah residence visa?

The federal ICP, not Dubai's GDRFA/Amer.

How many visas can I get on a Sharjah free-zone licence?

It depends on the package and office. SPC advertises unlimited visas and SHAMS up to around 6; larger offices allow more.
