What the AED 5,750 package covers
AED 5,750 is a complete, visa-free company at SPC Free Zone in Sharjah: trade licence, every government and authority fee, and Formenzo's setup service. Because there is no visa block, no entry permit, medical or Emirates ID costs sit behind the headline figure — the filing total is the number you see. The SPC Free Zone full guide goes deeper on the zone itself.
Who picks this option
SPC's licence-only route attracts founders who need the entity more than the residency: self-publishers and content businesses drawn to a publishing-rooted free zone, overseas owners running a UAE-facing services company from abroad, and professionals already sponsored by an employer who want a side business kept legally separate.
Two things founders ask
How does SPC compare with the Dubai zones at this level? It is well under half their price: licence-only starts at AED 12,500 at Meydan Free Zone and AED 12,900 at IFZA against SPC's AED 5,750.
What does the first visa cost when I am ready? As a benchmark, SPC with one visa is AED 13,165 all-in — AED 7,415 above licence-only — with the full visa block included.
