About ANC Free Zone
Why Ajman New Venture Centre
On the ground, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, Ajman New Venture Centre deserves a close look for its very low-cost licence packages and straightforward renewal process. For most clients, setting up a company in Ajman New Venture Centre gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Dubai is a key re-export and sourcing hub for East African traders, and the UAE-Kenya CEPA is deepening those links, which gives Kenyan entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman New Venture Centre licence is issued. In short, for Kenyan entrepreneurs, the UAE is around 5 hours from Nairobi, the UAE is 1 hour ahead of Kenya, and English and Swahili speakers find the UAE easy to navigate.
Unlike some zones, Ajman New Venture Centre does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. Crucially, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), which covers solo company owners, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. Put simply, many Kenyan company owners run Ajman New Venture Centre companies alongside an existing business in Kenya, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
