E-commerce in the UAE for Danes

Selling physical or digital products online through your own store or marketplaces such as Amazon.ae and Noon

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. For most clients, for Danish founders, the UAE is around 6.5 hours from Copenhagen, the UAE is 2 to 3 hours ahead of Denmark, and English is the working language. As we tell every client, danish shipping and logistics groups are major operators at Jebel Ali and across the Gulf, which gives Danish entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Free Zone licence is released.

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. Office options in Ajman Free Zone range from flexi-desk, office suite or warehouse, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs.
