Ajman Free Zone combines among the most affordable in the UAE with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. Ajman Free Zone is one of the UAE's most affordable free zones — 0-visa packages from AED 5,500, and it has become one of the most practical choices for founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. The most common businesses Slovenians open through GoldenKey are in pharmaceuticals, engineering, tourism and wood products, although Ajman Free Zone supports almost any activity. Slovenian pharmaceutical and engineering exports reach the Gulf via Dubai, which gives Slovenian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Free Zone licence is released.
