Registration of a Company in Fujeira Creative City

Fujairah Creative City Free Zone

The new free zone Fujairah Creative City was founded in 2007 and is primarily focused on the creation of service companies and media business companies. The emirate of Fujairah is located on the shores of the Gulf of Oman of the Indian Ocean, 150 km off Dubai. An international airport and one of the largest ports in the UAE contributed to the dynamic development of this emirate and made it possible to create optimal environment for attracting investors from all over the world.

Fujairah Creative City offers a wide selection of options both in terms of type of licence for companies and visa packages for company employees.

Company Name

  • Can use Latin characters.
  • Must not be identical or similar to the name of an existing company.
  • Must have an ending indicating the legal form (“FZE”).

Confidentiality

The UAE does not have public company registries that would contain details of shareholders or directors. Information about free zone companies can only be obtained at the request of a local court.

The register of shareholders and directors of the company is not accessible to third parties.

Local Registered Office

Upon registration the company and the Free Zone administration necessarily sign an office lease agreement. The address of such office is considered the official registered office address of the company. At the same time, the company is free to rent additional offices, industrial premises or warehouses in the territory of free zone.

Seal

Companies are required to have a common seal.

Redomicile

The redomiciliation of companies either to or from the UAE is permitted.

Company structure

Directors

Directors’ details are submitted to the Free Zone administration, but are not accessible to third parties.
