Steps to Establish Sharjah Free Zone Company

Conduct Market Research & Plan Your Setup

Begin by clearly defining your business activities and long-term objectives. Research the available Sharjah free zones — such as Hamriyah Free Zone, SAIF Zone, or SPC Free Zone — and assess which one aligns best with your business sector, whether it's trading, media, tech, or manufacturing.

Choose & Register a Trade Name

Your business name is your brand. Select a unique and relevant trade name that adheres to UAE naming regulations. Avoid using any religious or politically sensitive terms. Submit at least three name options to ensure approval from the relevant free zone authority.

Secure Your Infrastructure & Workspace

Depending on your operational needs, choose an appropriate facility such as an office, warehouse, or flexi-desk. Sharjah free zones offer cost-effective leasing options with modern infrastructure tailored for startups, SMEs, and large-scale companies alike.

Plan for Your Workforce Requirements

Estimate the number of employees your business will require at different stages of growth. This helps in choosing the right office size and license package, as visa quotas are often linked to the size of your leased space.

Meet the Capital Requirement

Some free zones require a minimum share capital deposit depending on your business activity and company structure. Open a corporate bank account and deposit the required capital as per the guidelines of the selected free zone.

Prepare & Submit Legal Documentation

Compile all required documents, including shareholder passports, a business plan, board resolution (if applicable), power of attorney, and your company's Memorandum and Articles of Association. Submitting accurate and notarized documents speeds up the approval process.

Obtain Your Trade License & Visas

Once your documents are verified, the free zone authority will issue your business license. After this, you can initiate the process of applying for investor visas, employee visas, and dependent visas as per your license entitlements.

Complete Company Registration

Finally, pay the applicable license, visa, and registration fees. Once all formalities are completed, your company will be officially registered and you’ll be ready to start operations within the Sharjah Free Zone.
