WhatsApp quoteAs we tell every client, opening a business account with Sharjah Islamic Bank is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. A UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and Sharjah Islamic Bank is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. As we tell every client, for Bulgarian business owners, the UAE is around 5 hours from Sofia, the UAE is 1 to 2 hours ahead of Bulgaria, and English is the business language. Bulgarians are a growing community in IT, hospitality and trading, so the Sharjah Islamic Bank authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Bulgarian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
