About Fujairah
Why Fujairah
Choosing Fujairah mainland gives you a licence that landlords, government departments and large corporate clients recognise without a second thought. Fujairah is the UAE's east-coast gateway — shipping, bunkering and Indian Ocean trade, and GoldenKey registers mainland companies there with the economic department week in, week out. Typical examples of this activity include food re-export, auto parts, textiles and machinery, which can usually sit together on one Fujairah licence. GoldenKey has licensed import-export business businesses for clients in Fujairah and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.
As a rule, government and semi-government tenders in Fujairah require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges. Fujairah mainland licences are issued by the Fujairah Municipality and Department of Industry and Economy, which currently processes most standard files in around 4 working days (Monday to Friday). As a rule, for import & export, Fujairah offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
