Why Ajman Free Zone
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. Ajman Free Zone combines among the most affordable in the UAE with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, and for that reason it suits both first-time business owners and established groups. Day to day, for Bulgarian company owners, the UAE is around 5 hours from Sofia, the UAE is 1 to 2 hours ahead of Bulgaria, and English is the business language. GoldenKey has Bulgarian clients from Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna, and our consultants understand the documents released in Bulgaria and how to attest them for the UAE.
Importantly, 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. Day to day, popular activities in Ajman Free Zone include trading, consultancy, services, e-commerce and general trading, and most of them can be combined on a single licence. For Bulgarians, the practical advantages of Ajman Free Zone are the ease of travel between Bulgaria and the UAE, English is the business language, and a banking system that processes Bulgarian lev (BGN) transfers daily.
