GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through Ajman Free Zone company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. An Ajman Free Zone company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. Typical examples of this activity include bullion trading, diamond wholesale, jewellery retail and refinery supply, which can typically sit together on one Ajman Free Zone licence. Gold & Jewellery Trading in Ajman Free Zone means wholesale and retail trading of gold, diamonds, precious stones and jewellery, and it is licensed as a commercial activity.
Why Ajman Free Zone
Day to day, one of the oldest free zones in the UAE, established 1988. On the ground, unlike some zones, Ajman Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. For gold & jewellery trading, Ajman Free Zone offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
