This illustrative scenario shows how a Kenyan founder set up a marketing agency in Ajman New Venture Centre with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A Kenyan entrepreneur from Nairobi wanted to launch a marketing agency serving customers in the UAE and Kenya. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Ajman New Venture Centre
Crucially, after comparing options, Ajman New Venture Centre was chosen for its very low-cost licence packages and because marketing & advertising agency 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 Kenya. The licence was released in line with the usual Ajman New Venture Centre 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 marketing & advertising agency. 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 Kenyan founder considering marketing & advertising agency in Ajman New Venture Centre.
