This illustrative scenario shows how a British founder set up a contracting company in Ajman Media City with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A British entrepreneur from London wanted to launch a contracting company serving customers in the UAE and United Kingdom. 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 construction & contracting 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 United Kingdom. The licence was granted in line with the usual Ajman Media City timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
Day to day, with the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to construction & contracting. 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 British founder considering construction & contracting in Ajman Media City.
