A trade licence keeps your business legally active in Sharjah. But renewal involves more than paying an annual fee. Your tenancy documents, licence details, external approvals and any outstanding issues need to be in order before the renewal can be completed smoothly.
For Sharjah mainland businesses, trade licence renewal is handled through the Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD). SEDD allows investors to complete the renewal process through its digital services, subject to the required documents and activity-specific approvals.
Nexora Business Consultancy assists companies with trade license renewal in Sharjah, from checking the existing licence and documents to coordinating submissions, payments and required approvals.
If your licence is approaching expiry or has already expired, start by checking its status and expected renewal cost.
The cost of renewing a Sharjah mainland trade licence is not one fixed amount. It can depend on nationality, rent or premises calculations, legal form, commercial-register requirements, signboard permits, activity approvals, Chamber charges, external-authority fees and outstanding fines.
| Fee Component | Current SEDD Fee / Calculation |
|---|---|
| Licence renewal – UAE nationals | 8% of rent value or area calculation, minimum AED 800 |
| Licence renewal – other nationalities | 13% of rent value or area calculation, minimum AED 1,300 |
| Trade-name signboard permit | AED 200, subject to signboard details |
| Commercial register certificate | Varies according to legal form |
| Printing fee | AED 300 |
| Electronic service fee | AED 100 |
| Representative card | AED 300 where applicable |
| Sharjah Chamber fees | Additional, where applicable |
| External authority fees | Depend on business activity |
Your final renewal amount can also include tenancy-related charges, activity permits, external approvals, penalties, amendments and professional-service fees. Request an itemised renewal estimate instead of relying on one generic price.
If you’re not sure which process applies, send a copy of the licence and identify the issuing authority before starting the renewal.
Sharjah-specific note: do not use Dubai’s “Ejari” terminology. For Sharjah mainland renewal, refer to the applicable certified tenancy contract or ownership document where required by SEDD.
SEDD currently lists the service time for its licence-renewal service as one business day. That should not be treated as a guarantee for every company because preparation issues can extend the total journey.
The best way to speed up renewal is to review the complete file before submitting it.
Do not ignore an expired licence. SEDD currently states that a licence should be renewed when it expires and that a late fine of AED 200 per month is charged when renewal is not completed within the required period.
If you answered “not sure” to several questions, review the licence before submitting the renewal.
If your lease has expired, changed or no longer reflects the business premises, resolve the property-document issue first. For regulated activities, check the activity shown on the existing licence rather than guessing which approval applies.
Choosing the right service before submission can prevent unnecessary delays and duplicate transactions.
Waiting until the licence expires can turn a routine renewal into a more complicated compliance task. An early review gives you time to resolve these issues beforehand.
