A UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and Ajman Bank is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. GoldenKey does not promise bank approvals, because only the bank's compliance team can grant them; what we do is prepare your Ajman Bank application so thoroughly that there is little left to question. GoldenKey has licensed general trading company businesses for clients in Ajman Bank and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. General Trading in Ajman Bank means import, export, re-export and wholesale of a broad range of goods under one licence, and it is licensed as a commercial activity.
