Sharjah Publishing City (SPC) Free Zone, the world’s first-of-its-kind publishing free zone, has introduced a speedy business setup process, allowing businesses to obtain instant licences in just 45 minutes across an extensive selection of business activities on offer.
Aspiring businesspeople, especially those in the publishing, creative sectors, and allied industries can also avail unique solutions tailored to meet their specific needs. The free zone continues to promote and empower smaller businesses and upcoming entrepreneurs to establish or expand their operations by offering innovative solutions in a business-friendly environment.
A limited-time package aimed at reducing business licensing and set-up costs, has also been unveiled by SPC Free Zone, providing a strategic opportunity for business owners to join the region’s largest publishing ecosystem.
The comprehensive package processes essential documents including memorandum of association (MoA), lease agreements at the free zone, business activity certificates, certificates of formation, and share certificates. Additionally, the package covers crucial administrative processes like e-channel registration, issuance of establishment card, and UAE residency in five days, as well as Emirates ID typing.
For a payment of 14,500 dirhams (approx. $3,915), new entrants to the free zone will get their 45-minute business licence, one investor visa, and the flexibility to combine up to five activities from a diverse selection of over 1,500 business activities that can be carried out at the free zone.
A wide range of top-notch business support services can be accessed by companies entering SPC Free Zone. Corporate banking assistance, option of choosing between fully-furnished or customized office spaces, the region’s only print-on-demand (POD) facility, strategic access to sea ports, and low operating costs alongside expert assistance ensure a solid foundation for growth and success.
Sharjah is a strong regional gateway for mainstream and emerging market sectors. Moreover, the emirates’ pro-investor legal and regulatory frameworks and well-connected business environment will immensely benefit businesses operating within the free zone.
Committed to providing unparalleled opportunities for regional market expansion and global impact, SPC Free Zone has been a frontrunner in promoting Sharjah as a global hub for creative and knowledge sectors in the UAE since its establishment in 2017.
