## All 6 Sharjah free zones, A–Z

The lowest figure each zone publishes. Where that is a single fee — an annual registration or one tariff — it is labelled, because it is not the cost of a setup.

## How Sharjah zones differ

1. **Prices are published in different forms.** 3 of 6 publish a package or calculator price. 1 publishes only an annual fee or a single tariff, so that figure is not the cost of a setup. 2 zones publish no price.
2. **Licence times are stated in different units.** In hours: Same day (Sharjah Publishing City Free Zone) to 1 hour (Hamriyah Free Zone and SAIF). In business days: 5 business days (Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park). Units differ, so they are not ranked against each other. 2 publish no licence time.
3. **Premises on offer.** 1 of 6 offers a flexi desk, coworking or virtual office (Sharjah Media City). 2 offer warehouses, yards, plots or land. The other 3 list offices or sector facilities only.
