SPC Freezone Company Setup

Understanding the step-by-step process helps you prepare properly and set realistic expectations.

Step 1: Define Business Activities and Structure

Start by clearly identifying your business activities and selecting the appropriate license type. Choose between service, commercial, or e-commerce licensing based on your actual operations. Decide whether FZE, FZCO, branch, or representative office structure best suits your situation.

Incorpyfy provides business consultation to help evaluate options and recommend optimal structures. We assess your business model, growth plans, and specific requirements to guide appropriate choices.

Step 2: Select Company Name

Prepare three name choices for your SPC Free Zone company. Names must comply with UAE regulations and avoid religious references, existing trademarks, or inappropriate terminology. SPC conducts availability checks to confirm whether your preferred options are available for registration.

Step 3: Choose Package and Office Type

Select the package that matches your budget and service needs. Decide on office arrangements from flexible options, including flexi offices for minimal physical presence, shared workspaces for cost-effective dedicated space, or private offices for full control and larger teams.

Office selection affects visa allocation and annual costs, so choose based on both immediate needs and near-term growth plans.

Step 4: Prepare Required Documents

Individual shareholders need passport copies valid for at least 6 months, passport-sized photos with a white background, visa page copies if already in the UAE, Emirates ID for residents, and completed personal information sheets.

Corporate shareholders must provide company trade licenses or certificates of incorporation, memorandum of association, board resolutions authorising the SPC venture, UBO lists, and incumbency certificates. All corporate documents require proper attestation through home country channels and UAE embassy validation.

Prepare three company name choices and detailed business activity descriptions for each. Incorpyfy provides customised checklists based on your specific structure and activities.

Step 5: Submit Application

Complete applications, including all supporting documentation, are submitted to Sharjah Publishing City Free Zone for processing. SPC conducts compliance checks, verifies document accuracy, and processes initial approvals through digital systems.

Electronic submission and tracking provide visibility into application status throughout the approval process. Most straightforward applications move quickly through initial review stages.

Step 6: Receive Approval and Pay Fees

Once SPC approves your application, you receive payment instructions covering license fees, registration charges, and office lease costs. Standard pricing is clearly itemised, showing exactly what each component costs.

Payment confirmation triggers final license processing and document preparation. Quick license approvals mean you typically receive your license within days of payment for straightforward applications.

Step 7: Collect License and Begin Operations

Your SPC Free Zone license gets issued electronically, ready for immediate use. This official document authorises your specified business activities and proves your company’s legal existence. You also receive incorporation documents and office lease agreements.

With license in hand, proceed to operational setup including corporate bank account opening, UAE investor visa processing, and launching actual business activities.

Selecting the right business setup partner affects your entire experience and long-term success.
