Frequently asked questions

How is SPC Free Zone different from SHAMS?

SPC covers more activities (2,000+ vs media-focused SHAMS) and includes a dual-licence option that lets you operate in the mainland too. SHAMS is cheaper and more freelance-focused.

Can SPC Free Zone companies trade in the UAE?

The dual licence option allows mainland trading alongside the free zone licence. Standard SPC free zone licences follow the usual free zone rules (invoice through a mainland distributor for UAE sales).

What is the cheapest SPC package?

Zero-visa package at AED 6,500 per year including licence, flexi-desk and establishment card.

Is SPC good for e-commerce?

Yes. SPC covers e-commerce activities under multiple categories. For fulfilment and logistics, pair with a mainland distributor or move to Dubai CommerCity.
