Sharjah Publication City (SPC)

Sharjah Publishing City Free Zone is overseen by the Sharjah Book Authority (SBA).

With strong infrastructure and modern facilities, the free zone is suitable for both startups and established companies. Investors can rely on SSR Global PRO to navigate the incorporation process with ease.

Types of Licenses in Sharjah Publishing City Free Zone

Company formation begins with choosing the right license. Each license is aligned with specific activities, and selecting the wrong one can limit operations. SSR Global PRO guides investors in this process. The free zone issues four main types of licenses:

E-commerce License
Enables entrepreneurs to sell goods or services online, locally and internationally. While free zone companies cannot directly trade on the mainland, they can operate through distributors.

Service License
Allows businesses to provide services such as consultancy, project management, or investment advisory without the need for physical goods.

Commercial License
Required for importing, exporting, and selling goods within the UAE or abroad.

General Trading License
Covers multiple product categories, allowing companies to trade a wide variety of goods without restriction.

Company Structures Permitted

Investors must choose a legal structure before applying for a license. The options include:

Free Zone Establishment (FZE) – An LLC with a single shareholder (individual or corporate).
Free Zone Company (FZC) – An LLC with up to seven shareholders.
Branch Office – Local and foreign companies can register a branch in the free zone.
