Foreign Company Branch in Ajman

Why Ajman

Ajman mainland licences are issued by the Ajman Department of Economic Development (Ajman DED), which currently processes most standard files in around 3 business days. In our experience, government and semi-government tenders in Ajman require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges. From day one, among the strengths of an Ajman mainland licence are among the most affordable mainland licences in the UAE and Fast 2 to 3 day approvals, which is why local service businesses gravitate here.
