Why Sharjah
For most clients, since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Sharjah mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection company owners used to have. From day one, choosing Sharjah mainland gives you a licence that landlords, government departments and large corporate customers recognise without a second thought. GoldenKey has Slovak clients from Bratislava and Košice, and our consultants understand the papers released in Slovakia and how to attest them for the UAE. Slovaks are a small community in automotive, IT and hospitality, so the Sharjah authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Slovak applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Just as important, the emirate has coastlines on both the Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. As a rule, popular districts for a Sharjah mainland office include Al Nahda, Industrial Area, Al Majaz, Al Khan and Muwaileh, each with different rent levels and customer footfall. As we tell every client, many Slovak founders run Sharjah companies alongside an existing business in Slovakia, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
