We run it ourselves

Sijil's engine prices mainland routes with the same tracked line items as its six free-zone authorities: ranked, not pre-sold.

Sector Focus

Industry-specific requirements

Critical sector priorities

Contracting often points mainland when government tenders are the target, and carries classification and approval steps that vary by emirate.

How our capabilities map to this industry

The comparison report prices the route honestly, and the desk sequences the approvals rather than promising them away.

Sector FAQ

Straight answers to technical questions

Do I still need a local service agent?

For most commercial activities, no: full foreign ownership is available on the mainland today. Where your specific activity still requires one, the dossier says so before any commitment, with its cost as a separate line.

Mainland or free zone: which is cheaper?

Neither, universally. Mainland often wins once you count unrestricted trading and government tenders; free zones win on visas and packaged fees. The engine prices both paths on your case rather than defending a side.

Can you handle external approvals?

For regulated activities (education, healthcare, transport and the like), we map the approving authority and its requirements during scoping, then the desk chases the sequence with you.

We build. We prove. Then we serve.
