About Ajman Free Zone
Why Ajman Free Zone
In short, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, Ajman Free Zone deserves a close look for its among the most affordable in the UAE and straightforward renewal process. 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 entrepreneurs and established groups. the UAE is Italy's largest export market in the Gulf, especially for food, fashion, machinery and interiors, which gives Italian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Free Zone licence is issued. Payments between Italy and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Italian business profiles.
In our experience, 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. To be clear, one of the oldest free zones in the UAE, established 1988. Many Italian founders run Ajman Free Zone companies alongside an existing business in Italy, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
