What documents do you need to set up a company in Sharjah?
To set up an SPC Free Zone company you need a passport copy for each shareholder, a completed application form, and a passport-size photo. Some activities and nationalities need extras — proof of address, a business plan, or an approval. With a complete file, the licence is issued instantly.
The core checklist
- Passport copy for each shareholder.
- Completed SPC application form.
- Passport-size photograph.
- Proof of address (for some cases).
Extras some setups need
Certain activities need approval from a relevant authority, and a few nationalities need additional checks. Corporate shareholders add documents like a board resolution and the parent company's papers. We tell you your exact list upfront so nothing stalls later.
The mistakes that cause delays
- Blurry or expired passport scans.
- An activity that doesn't match what you actually do.
- Name choices that clash with naming rules.
- Missing approvals for regulated activities.
