About ANC Free Zone
Why Ajman New Venture Centre
An Ajman New Venture Centre company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is granted. Put simply, founders choose Ajman New Venture Centre when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. The most common businesses Portuguese nationals open through GoldenKey are in technology, hospitality, engineering and renewable energy, although Ajman New Venture Centre supports almost any activity. For most clients, payments between Portugal and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Portuguese business profiles.
As we tell every client, full virtual setup — no physical visit required in most cases. For most clients, 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 issued. Portuguese applicants benefit from the fact that Ajman New Venture Centre already has many Portuguese shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Portugal supporting documents and name formats instantly.
