Why Establish Your Business in Hamriyah Free Zone?

Choosing the Hamriyah Free Zone is a great move for anyone wanting to grow their business quickly and save money. It is located in a prime spot in Sharjah, connecting you to major markets by land, sea, and air. The best part is that you get to keep 100% of your profits because there are no corporate or personal taxes. Whether you are a small startup or a big factory, the free zone provides everything you need—like ready-made offices and large warehouses—to get started without any stress.

Choose the Right License for Your Business Activity

To make your business official in the Hamriyah Free Zone, you need to pick the license that matches what you do. Whether you are selling products, offering professional advice, or making goods in a factory, there is a specific category for you.

 

Here are the most common licenses you can choose from:

  • Commercial License: Best for importing, exporting, selling, or distributing goods such as clothing, electronics, or spare parts.
  • Service License: Perfect for professionals like IT consultants, accountants, or marketing experts who sell their skills and services.
  • Industrial License: Needed if you plan to open a factory to manufacture, process, or package raw materials into finished products.
  • E-Commerce License: Designed for entrepreneurs who want to sell products or services online through websites or social media.
  • International reputation and compliance

Hamriyah Free Zone Legal Structures

When you set up a business in the Hamriyah Free Zone, you need to decide how your company will be organized legally. This depends on how many owners you have and if you already have a company elsewhere.

Here are the three main ways you can set up your business:

  • Free Zone Establishment (FZE): This is for a business with only one owner. That owner can be a person or another company.
  • Free Zone Company (FZC): This is for a business with two or more owners (up to five). It works like a partnership where multiple people or companies own the business together.
  • Branch or Subsidiary: If you already have a company in your home country or another part of the UAE, you can open a branch in Hamriyah. This allows your existing business to have a legal presence and operate inside the free zone.
