Foodstuff Trading in the UAE for Swedes

Why Ajman Free Zone

Crucially, 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. Popular activities in Ajman Free Zone include trading, consultancy, services, e-commerce and general trading, and most of them can be combined on a single licence.

How Ajman Free Zone works with GoldenKey

   In the first call we check that Ajman Free Zone lists your activity, settle the licence type and match the visa package and office to what you actually need.

   Step 2

   Name reservation and initial approval

   Your trade name is reserved with the Ajman Free Zone authority and initial approval is obtained; this stage rarely takes more than two working days. For opening a foodstuff trading company in the UAE as a Swedish founder, GoldenKey completes this stage with you on WhatsApp or by email.

3. 
   Step 3

   Document submission and payment

   You sign the file forms and memorandum, we submit the attested papers and the licence fee is paid to the authority.

4. 
   Step 4

   Licence issued and next steps

   To be clear, your Ajman Free Zone licence, certificate of incorporation and lease are issued, and we move straight on to the establishment card, visas and bank introduction.
