FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Company registration in Sharjah generally takes between 1 to 2 weeks, depending on your chosen business activity and jurisdiction. Free zone registrations are typically processed faster than mainland setups, making them a popular choice for investors looking for a quicker turnaround.

Yes. Foreign investors can own 100% of their business in Sharjah's free zones. For mainland companies, recent regulatory reforms have also expanded full foreign ownership eligibility across a wide range of business activities.

Certain mainland business activities may require a UAE national partner or local service agent. However, free zone setups offer complete foreign ownership with no local sponsor requirement, giving investors full control of their business.

Sharjah offers a highly tax-efficient environment with no income tax and no corporate tax for most business activities. There are also no trade barriers or foreign exchange controls, making it an excellent choice for international investors.

Free zone companies are authorized to operate within their designated zone and conduct international business. For direct trade on the UAE mainland, businesses can either appoint a local distributor or establish a mainland branch office.

Sharjah is particularly well-suited for manufacturing, logistics, trading, publishing, education, healthcare, and professional services. Its strong industrial infrastructure and attractive government incentives make it an especially popular choice for industrial and SME businesses.
