Since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Fujairah mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection founders used to have. A mainland company in Fujairah can hold a mainland office, hire staff under MOHRE contracts and register with the Chamber of Commerce for tenders. GoldenKey has licensed engineering consultancy businesses for customers in Fujairah and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. For most clients, external approvals for engineering consultancy are: municipality engineering consultancy registration.
Why Fujairah
A Fujairah mainland company can apply for an unlimited visa quota in proportion to its office space, which free zone packages cannot match. Popular districts for a Fujairah mainland office include Fujairah City, Dibba, Al Faseel, Sakamkam and Qidfa, each with different rent levels and customer footfall. For engineering consultancy, Fujairah offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
