Compare the free zones in Sharjah

Prices are the cheapest package each zone publishes on its own site. They usually leave out visas, the establishment card and medicals, so treat them as a floor, not a budget.

Guides that cover Sharjah zones

What to check before you act

  • Your exact business activity is on the zone's activity list, not just a similar one.
  • How many visas your office option allows, and what each visa costs on top of the licence.
  • Whether you will trade with mainland Sharjah customers, and what the zone and the emirate require for that. Our mainland operating permit guide explains the options.
  • The full year-one cost. Our year-one cost guide shows what to add up.

Before you pay a setup agent

  • Ask for the full year-one quote in writing: licence, desk, establishment card, each visa, medicals and Emirates ID.
  • Ask which exact activity name goes on your licence and check it covers what you will invoice for.
  • Ask whether the agent is paid by the zone, and whether a bank account is included or only an introduction.
  • Check the zone's own price page before you sign. We link to it on every zone profile.
