About Ajman Free Zone
Why Ajman Free Zone
For most clients, setting up a company in Ajman Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Day to day, founders choose Ajman Free Zone when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. Payments between Australia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Australian dollar (AUD) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Australian business profiles. the UAE is Australia's largest trade and investment partner in the Middle East, with a CEPA concluded in 2024, which gives Australian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Free Zone licence is issued.
Put simply, one of the reasons we recommend Ajman Free Zone is its among the most affordable in the UAE, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. Just as important, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch of Foreign Company, which covers solo business owners, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. GoldenKey has prepared Ajman Free Zone files for Australian clients in education, construction, hospitality and sports, which means we know which Australia supporting documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
