WhatsApp quoteFrom day one, this illustrative scenario shows how a Serbian founder set up a pharmaceutical trading company in Sharjah with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A Serbian entrepreneur from Belgrade wanted to launch a pharmaceutical trading company serving customers in the UAE and Serbia. The priorities were a credible licence, a residency visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Sharjah
To be clear, after comparing options, Sharjah was chosen for its Lowest-cost mainland licence among the big three emirates and because pharmaceutical & medical supplies is a well-established activity there. GoldenKey confirmed the activity code and the visa package in the first consultation.
The process
GoldenKey reserved the trade name, obtained initial approval and submitted attested documents from Serbia. The licence was issued in line with the usual Sharjah timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
Put simply, with the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to pharmaceutical & medical supplies. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
Put simply, the business was invoicing clients within weeks of the first call, with a UAE address, a resident founder and a compliance calendar managed by GoldenKey. The same path is available to any Serbian founder considering pharmaceutical & medical supplies in Sharjah.
