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. Ajman Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Typical examples of this activity include fabric wholesale, uniform supply, garment re-export and home textiles, which can generally sit together on one Ajman Free Zone licence. GoldenKey has Greek customers from Athens, Thessaloniki and Piraeus, and our consultants understand the paperwork released in Greece and how to attest them for the UAE.
