General Trading in the UAE for Indians

Why Ajman Free Zone

Crucially, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch of Foreign Company, which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. 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.
