A mainland company in Ajman can hold a mainland office, hire staff under MOHRE contracts and register with the Chamber of Commerce for tenders. Typical examples of this activity include spare parts trading, used car export, tyre trading and accessories, which can generally sit together on one Ajman licence. GoldenKey has licensed automotive trading company businesses for customers in Ajman and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.
