As a rule, 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 simple renewal process. Ajman Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Bulgaria exports rose oil, food and software services to the UAE market, which gives Bulgarian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Free Zone licence is issued. To be clear, for Bulgarian founders, the UAE is around 5 hours from Sofia, the UAE is 1 to 2 hours ahead of Bulgaria, and English is the business language.

Why Ajman Free Zone

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. 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 issued.
