Business setup in Freezone

It has also been observed that Sharjah Media City (SHAMS) is the most affordable free zone in UAE with the initial cost amount to AED 5,750. Currently, SHAMS has business set-up offers which makes the area the cheapest for securing a free zone license in the UAE.

As for the Dubai’s free zones, the estimated costs incurred during operations are approximately AED 10,000 to AED 30,000 but that figure depends on various factors such as the size and nature of the business , the type of license issued to the business and the specific free zone.

As is the case with most people in the free trade zones. This is the purpose of the Free Zone Labour card – a document that is the identification of persons working in a free zone in the UAE. This cannot be confused with the labour card in MOHRE issued for posts in the mainland. This labour card includes your photo, details of your dob, your employer and is processed by the FZA of your location.

Steps to establish a free zone company.

• Identify Business Ownership.

• Register the Firm Name.

• Request a Trade Certificate.

• Find an appropriate Commercial Area.

• Get Permission for Specific Activities, Registering the Company, and Applying for a License.
