WhatsApp quoteJust as important, the following example is a composite of real Ajman Free Zone files handled by GoldenKey for Indian clients in general trading; details have been generalised.
The starting point
An Indian entrepreneur from Mumbai wanted to launch a general trading company serving customers in the UAE and India. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Ajman Free Zone
After comparing options, Ajman Free Zone was chosen for its among the most affordable in the UAE and because general trading 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 paperwork from India. The licence was granted in line with the usual Ajman Free Zone 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 general trading. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
The business was invoicing customers 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 Indian founder considering general trading in Ajman Free Zone.
