Why Choose SPC Free Zone?
Sharjah Publishing City (SPC) is the world's first dedicated free zone for publishing, printing, and content creation. Established under the patronage of Sharjah — UNESCO's World Book Capital 2019 — SPC caters to a niche but growing market of publishers, authors, media houses, and digital content creators looking for a specialised, affordable home in the UAE.
Key Benefits
SPC offers 100% foreign ownership, zero corporate and personal income tax, and full profit repatriation. The zone's focus on publishing and media means it attracts a targeted community of like-minded businesses, providing unique networking opportunities in the creative and educational content space.
Packages & Pricing
Licence packages start from AED 5,750 for a basic zero-visa setup, matching SHAMS as one of the most affordable entry points in the UAE. Visa-inclusive packages and office options are available at competitive rates, with multi-year discounts for longer commitments.
Activities & Scope
While primarily focused on publishing, SPC also supports related activities including printing, distribution, digital media, content marketing, translation services, and educational content production. Businesses can combine multiple activities under a single licence.
Who Is It Best For?
SPC is ideal for publishers, authors, printing companies, translation agencies, and educational content creators. It's a niche choice that offers affordability and a community tailored to the creative and publishing industries.
