Jurisdiction
How requirements vary by emirate
SRTIP in Sharjah is one of the authorities Sijil's engine tracks live; the emirate also hosts several further free-zone authorities alongside its mainland licensing department.
The emirate determines regulatory fees, visa quotas, and physical leasing mandates, not the business fundamentals. Our engine systematically models mainland versus free zone trade-offs based on your activity, headcount, and capital before a single filing is submitted.
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.
