How to Set up a Business in Sharjah Media City (SHAMS)?
Select the Name of the Company
The most important thing to understand is to avoid derogatory or profane words like the company’s name.

Keep your business name unique and catchy – it will make your business stand out in the diverse marketplace.

AIMS UAE guides and supports you regarding the best business type and activities for your Sharjah-free zone company setup. You can combine up to three business endeavours under a single licence.

You need to send your application to an AIMS UAE representative, including business operations, name, and supporting documentation. They will handle the rest of the procedure and ensure you have a hassle-free experience.
Make the Payment
Fee payments are necessary to complete the Sharjah Media City firm setup process. After payment, we send you the payment confirmation and a schedule for the licence’s processing. The free zone trade license issuance typically takes one week, and we will inform you once your licence is processed.
