WhatsApp quoteIn our experience, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, SAIF Zone deserves a close look for its Airport proximity and uncomplicated renewal process. SAIF Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Sharjah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. The most common businesses Romanians open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, hospitality, construction and aviation, although SAIF Zone supports almost any activity. Typical examples of this activity include food processing, packaging, furniture production and plastics, which can as a rule sit together on one SAIF Zone licence.
Why SAIF Zone
One of the reasons we suggest SAIF Zone is its Airport proximity, which matters more than most entrepreneurs realise once the business is running. Just as important, office options in SAIF Zone range from flexi-desk, office suite, warehouse, factory unit or land lease, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs.
