Fujairah Creative City Free Zone (FCC) is located in the emirate of Fujairah, which is 1.5 hours ride from Dubai. In comparison to other freezones in Dubai, it is relatively young. Nevertheless, today it attracts a lot of clients. Also, Fujairah Creative City has one of the most reasonable company formation packages.
One thing from the very beginning: Fujairah Creative City Free Zone does not grant license for general trading and industrial activities. Instead, they offer big advantages to other industries.
A company can be registered without personal presence of a founder in the UAE, provided that a founder had already visited the UAE and can present a scanned proof from your passport on visiting the UAE (visiting the UAE as a tourist is also applicable).
A license in Fujairah Creative Zone will be issued within seven days enabling the holder to apply for a company bank account. The Free Zone automatically applies for an Immigration Card, which takes between 10 to 15 working days. When this has been issued, the holder can apply for the UAE residency visa.
Usually the first thing to do is choose your business activity. From here you’ll need to decide on your company name, then you have to complete and file your registration paperwork with the relevant authorities, open a bank account and apply for any visas that may be required.
Fujairah Creative City is targeting smaller players who are trying to establish new businesses or benefit from a new location for their existing operations. Creative City, having 40,000 sq. meters of dedicated land area, will complement existing media clusters in the region, and further facilitate creativity in all fields, for both freelancers as well as companies in a variety of specialties, such as training, media production, media services and technology.
For example, Fujairah Creative City free zone does not require depositing of share capital into bank account. For many entrepreneurs it is rather difficult to transfer the amount of AED 100,000 to form company’s share capital. Fujairah Creative City is a very cost effective solution in this case.
Don't forget that once you decide to set up a company in Fujairah Creative City, you have to go through all the rules and regulations to avoid undesirables' hurdles.
