Keep a Sharjah business licence current or prepare a defined change to its activities, location or company details. We organise the SEDD transaction and the supporting record around what is changing.
Discuss your plans with an adviser.
It addresses renewal or a defined amendment to an existing SEDD licence. Identify the current record, requested change and deadline before gathering supporting documents; formation of a new company follows its own scope.
Specify whether the change concerns activities, location, owners or other company details. Link the request to the relevant supporting records and approvals so the application is prepared for the actual transaction.
We prepare the renewal or amendment around the current company record and the exact outcome requested.

The current record, requested outcome, dependencies and approved instructions in one working brief.
The relevant records, signatures and outstanding actions for your specific renewal or amendment.

Firswood directly provides the agreed licence-renewal and amendment preparation, submission and follow-up. The authority decides the application. New company formation, legal advice and connected bank, tax or immigration transactions are scoped separately where needed.
A documented Sharjah renewal or amendment outcome
Read the four decisions together: each contributes to the same setup brief. The map is a planning aid, not an approval sequence.
Read the detailed considerationsThis service starts with an existing Sharjah establishment and a renewal or amendment task. SEDD distinguishes renewal from changes to activities, location, partners and other licence information. We use your current licence to identify the requested transaction and prepare a focused file instead of asking you to repeat the whole company-formation process.
Firswood directly handles the agreed preparation, submission and follow-up work. You receive a transaction brief, a document tracker and a completion record. If you are establishing a new entity, use our Sharjah mainland company-formation service for ownership, structure and launch planning. Wider company-file transactions can be scoped through PRO services.
Choose the transaction that matches the current record and the change you need.
Give us the current activity record and a description of the work to add or stop. SEDD provides activity-amendment services. We record the requested change and identify the approval questions that must be resolved before the new work is treated as licensed. Source: SEDD: licence amendment transactions.
When the business changes location, we review the proposed address, premises evidence and any technical or external checks relevant to the change. SEDD offers a location-amendment route. Keep the old and proposed records distinguishable so that a renewal is not mistaken for acceptance of a new site. Source: SEDD: licence amendment transactions.
SEDD lists amendments for partners, management and authorised signatories. We identify which current company records and proposed decisions relate to your request, then prepare a document and signature tracker. A change affecting legal contracts should be scoped with the relevant professional responsibilities identified. Source: SEDD: licence amendment transactions.

The following is a preparation checklist. We confirm the official submission requirements for the exact transaction; not every item applies to every licence.
This filters the groups shown; it does not decide eligibility or replace a final requirements check.

Do not send account passwords or original identity documents with an initial enquiry. We agree how the required records will be shared for the engagement.
Your ticks stay on this page for this visit. No documents are uploaded or sent.
Have a question about one of these records?
We separate the work you control from the authority’s review and record the status of each outstanding item.
We record the current licence, expiry, exact change and any active authority request. A new entity is directed to company formation.
We check the appropriate SEDD route and list Firswood’s tasks, client decisions, official charges and work outside the engagement.
We organise the relevant company, premises and approval evidence, recording missing items and any signatures to arrange.
We check the proposed details with the authorised company contact, complete the agreed submission and retain its reference.
We track enquiries and the official payment request, then compare the resulting licence record with the approved instructions.
You receive the outcome, receipts and outstanding connected updates, with the next relevant date recorded.
Ask for a transaction-specific quotation. A renewal without changes and an amendment involving several records are different assignments.
| Cost component | What to account for |
|---|---|
| Authority transaction charges | The current official assessment depends on the licence and requested transaction. We identify the fee request and its recipient rather than reuse an incorporation-package figure. |
| Conditional documents and approvals | Company decisions, premises changes, translations or external review can add work. The quote states which of these are included and which remain conditional. |
| Firswood preparation and follow-up | The engagement identifies the records we prepare, the submission and follow-up included, and the treatment of additional requests or changes to your instructions. |
| Separate connected updates | Banking, immigration, employment and tax-record work may follow a company change. Scope these expressly instead of assuming every record updates with the licence. |
Share the existing licence and requested change for a useful scope. Official approval and the authority’s final charge are not guaranteed by an estimate.
Share the current licence, expiry, requested renewal or change, and any open authority correspondence.
The preparation schedule begins with the actual expiry and the records that must be resolved. Authority review is a separate dependency.
Identify renewal deadlines, proposed changes and open requests. Clarify whether more than one transaction is needed.
Track updated company decisions, premises information and any external approvals or signatures needed for the chosen request.
Follow the application reference, check the issued record and identify connected updates. We do not promise a fixed approval date.
A complete handover helps the company use the correct record and avoid missing the next action.
File the latest licence and retain the previous version with its dates. Check the name, activity and other requested details against the completed transaction.
Identify whether banks, contracts, staff administration or tax records need a separate update. Allocate these actions to the appropriate authorised contact.
Record the next expiry and relevant premises or approval dates from the actual documents. Keep current authority correspondence with the licence file.
Need to discuss your own circumstances?
This page focuses on maintaining or changing an existing licence. Start with Sharjah mainland company formation if you need a new entity, owner structure and launch plan.
Renewal concerns the continuing licence record; an amendment requests a defined change. Describe both the deadline and any change so the correct work can be identified.
Yes. Treat the proposed move as a stated change and confirm its transaction requirements. The existing licence and a renewed lease do not by themselves answer whether a different location is suitable for the licensed operation.
Send the current licence, the requested outcome, its timing and any existing authority correspondence. Mention changes to premises, ownership or activity. We confirm the document requirements after reviewing the task.
No. Firswood directly manages the agreed preparation and follow-up, but the relevant authority decides the application. We identify unresolved requirements and keep the instructions and official outcome distinct.
Do not assume so. The handover identifies related banking, immigration, employment or tax records that may require separate action following the licence transaction.
