SHARJAH: Sharjah Media City, also known as Shams, is offering a new service called Mazeed, which aims to empower entrepreneurs and provide comprehensive solutions for startups and small and medium enterprises.
According to Shams, the new service offers a wide range of customized options that make it easier to start or expand a business, including financial solutions, digital marketing, legal advice and operational services, to help create an environment that fosters innovation and creativity in support of a thriving business ecosystem.
“The launch of Mazeed is in line with Shams’ strategy to support entrepreneurs and develop entrepreneurship in Sharjah and the UAE by providing practical solutions that simplify business management, reduce operating costs and promote sustainability and growth,” Shams said.
Rashid Abdullah Al-Obad, director of Shams, said the new service represents a step forward in the development of digital innovation in the business environment.
“Mazeed aims to simplify the path for entrepreneurs, allowing them to focus on growing their business rather than dealing with complex operational procedures,” he added.
“The launch of Mazeed is in line with Sharjah’s vision to support a sustainable economy and stimulate investment, as well as improve customer experience by offering innovative services that effectively meet the needs of the business sector.”
Shams also said it has formed strategic partnerships with business services companies Aura, Peko and Qashio to provide small and medium-sized businesses with seamless access to essential financial and operational services, as well as ensure business owners have the tools they need to streamline operations.
Aura will provide access to flexible financing solutions, including invoice financing for business-to-business transactions and payment plans for license fees. These services offer greater financial flexibility to help companies maintain operational stability and drive growth.
Through Peko, businesses can access essential business services such as utility bill payments, mobile account management, flight and hotel bookings, and payroll processing. Peko also offers advice on digital business tools such as WhatsApp for Business and e-signatures that can streamline operations.
Qashio focuses on advanced financial management solutions, including expense management, virtual bank account creation, and a rewards system using Qashio points. The partnership also includes a revenue sharing model.
Shams said Mazeed will continue to form new strategic partnerships across various sectors as part of its strategy to expand the services it offers to entrepreneurs, with more announcements expected soon.
The aim of this collaboration is to stimulate business innovation and provide cutting-edge solutions that help support the sustainability and growth of startups in the UAE, the company added.
