Whatever business you dream of running, Ajman Free Zone can licence it in a handful of simple steps. IZZAT Documents Clearing Services makes the journey effortless.
Overview
Why Set Up in Ajman Free Zone
Ajman Free Zone issues licences for almost every kind of venture - traders, manufacturers, service providers, retailers, freelancers and first-time entrepreneurs all find a package that fits. The application route is deliberately short, so you can concentrate on developing your business rather than on paperwork.
Operating since 1988, AFZ gives investors genuine flexibility, starting with 100% foreign ownership. Ajman itself continues to grow as an industrial and manufacturing centre within the UAE, which makes the free zone a natural first choice for anyone launching a business in the country.
Beyond ownership, the zone keeps its licence and service fees reasonable, allows capital and profits to move freely, exempts shareholders from personal income tax, and backs everything with strong infrastructure. A one-stop service desk handles company registration and visa matters together, and procedures stay fast from application through to renewal.
