SAIF Zone Company Formation for Swedes

Why SAIF Zone

Unlike some zones, SAIF Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is granted. SAIF Zone is located in Adjacent to Sharjah International Airport — direct airside access, and the authority's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days (Monday to Friday). Swedish applicants benefit from the fact that SAIF Zone already has many Swedish shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Sweden documents and name formats instantly.
