Why Shams Free Zone

Importantly, unlike some zones, Shams Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. Day to day, one of the reasons our advice is to choose Shams Free Zone is its media & creative focus, which matters more than most entrepreneurs realise once the business is running. For e-commerce, Shams Free Zone offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
