About Fujairah
Why Fujairah
A Fujairah mainland licence, issued by the Fujairah Municipality and Department of Industry and Economy, lets your company trade anywhere in the UAE, bid for government work and open as many branches as you need. Since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Fujairah mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection founders used to have. Typical examples of this activity include building contractor, MEP contractor, fit-out contractor and landscaping, which can usually sit together on one Fujairah licence. Construction & Contracting in Fujairah means building, civil works, MEP and specialist contracting for customers across the UAE, and it is licensed as a commercial activity.
Among the strengths of a Fujairah mainland licence are direct Indian Ocean port access and World-class bunkering hub, so local service businesses gravitate here. Government and semi-government tenders in Fujairah require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges. In our experience, for construction & contracting, Fujairah offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
