GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through Ajman Media City company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. Setting up a company in Ajman Media City gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. GoldenKey has Spanish customers from Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, and our consultants understand the paperwork issued in Spain and how to attest them for the UAE. Just as important, the most common businesses Spanish nationals open through GoldenKey are in construction, renewable energy, hospitality and food exports, although Ajman Media City supports almost any activity.

Why Ajman Media City

Unlike some zones, Ajman Media City does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued.
