Nigerian founder launches an IT and software company in Ajman Media City

Illustrative client scenario

The following example is a composite of real Ajman Media City files handled by GoldenKey for Nigerian customers in it & software; details have been generalised.

The starting point

A Nigerian entrepreneur from Lagos wanted to launch an IT and software company serving customers in the UAE and Nigeria. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.

Why Ajman Media City

After comparing options, Ajman Media City was chosen for its specialised media licences and because it & software 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 supporting documents from Nigeria. The licence was released in line with the usual Ajman Media City timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.

Banking and tax

As we tell every client, with the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to it & software. 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 Nigerian founder considering it & software in Ajman Media City.
