05 FAQ

SPC Free Zone setup — common questions.

How much does it cost to set up a company in Sharjah Publishing City (SPC Free Zone)?
Indicative setup in SPC Free Zone starts from around AED 6,000. Your final cost depends on the number of residence visas (roughly AED 3,500–5,500 each), whether you need a physical office, and your specific business activity. Free zones also run regular promotions, which we pass on — so your quote is often lower than the starting figure.
How long does SPC Free Zone company formation take?
Licensing in SPC Free Zone typically takes 3–7 working days. Adding residence visas and opening a corporate bank account can take a little longer.
Can I set up in SPC Free Zone from India without travelling?
Yes — the SPC Free Zone licence can usually be arranged remotely. If you take a UAE residence visa, a short visit is normally needed for medical testing and Emirates ID biometrics.
Is SPC Free Zone a VAT designated zone?
SPC Free Zone is a standard free zone rather than a VAT designated zone. This rarely matters for service businesses; if you trade physical goods we’ll advise whether a designated zone would suit you better.
Can I open a UAE bank account with a SPC Free Zone licence?
Yes. A SPC Free Zone licence makes you eligible to apply for a UAE corporate bank account. Approval depends on your activity, documents and profile — we point you to the banks that tend to open most smoothly for SPC Free Zone companies.
