Free zones · Sharjah
Sharjah Publishing City Free Zone (SPC Free Zone) was established in 2017 under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed AlQasimi, Ruler of Sharjah, as a subsidiary of the Sharjah Book Authority, the world’s first free zone built around the global print and publishing industry. Its publishing heart still beats in the dedicated Publishers Hub, and around it SPC has grown into a full business-setup destination, hosting companies from across many sectors in Sharjah.
Publishers and e-publishers at its heart, with companies from many wider sectors setting up around them.
What your SPC Free Zone setup costs depends on what your business does, who needs a visa and how you want to start. So instead of a one-size number, the Founder’s Copilot builds your exact setup and shows every dirham on its own line, licence, government fees and our fee, before you speak to anyone.
Describe your business in your own words. The Founder’s Copilot finds the licensed activities behind it and prices your setup line by line, with nothing hidden. When a zone feels right, everything is confirmed in writing before engagement, and your Company Hub tracks the whole journey from application to licence.
SPC Free Zone is one of ten zones the Copilot prices in real time. If it fits your business, you’ll see exactly why. If another zone fits better, you’ll see that too.
Zone details evolve. Anything that affects your setup is confirmed in writing before engagement.
