WhatsApp quoteCrucially, this illustrative scenario shows how a Danish founder set up a fitness business in Ajman with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A Danish entrepreneur from Copenhagen wanted to launch a fitness business serving customers in the UAE and Denmark. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Ajman
In short, after comparing options, Ajman was chosen for its among the most affordable mainland licences in the UAE and because fitness & sports is a well-established activity there. GoldenKey confirmed the activity code and the visa package in the first consultation.
The process
GoldenKey reserved the trade name, obtained initial approval and submitted attested documents from Denmark. The licence was issued in line with the usual Ajman timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
With the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to fitness & sports. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
The business was invoicing clients within weeks of the first call, with a UAE address, a resident founder and a compliance calendar managed by GoldenKey. The same path is available to any Danish founder considering fitness & sports in Ajman.

Frequently asked questions
Do Danes need a UAE visa before applying for Ajman?
No, it does not. You can apply for the licence from Denmark with scanned documents, and the investor residency visa is processed afterwards.
Can a Danish citizen own 100% of a company in Ajman?
Yes. Danes can own the full share capital of a Ajman company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Denmark and the UAE?
Day to day, the UAE has double taxation agreements with more than 130 countries. Whether Denmark is covered and how it applies to you depends on the current treaty position, which GoldenKey checks with a tax adviser before you rely on it.
