About Ajman
Why Ajman
On the ground, since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Ajman mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection founders used to have. GoldenKey helps business owners compare Ajman mainland with the nearby free zones honestly, because the right answer depends on where your customers are. Typical examples of this activity include blockchain development, Web3 consultancy, NFT platform and mining hardware trading, which can in most cases sit together on one Ajman licence. As we tell every client, crypto & Blockchain in Ajman means blockchain development, Web3 consultancy and, with VARA or ADGM licensing, virtual asset services, and it is licensed as a professional activity.
As a rule, popular districts for an Ajman mainland office include Al Rashidiya, Al Nuaimiya, Al Jurf, Al Rawda and Al Mowaihat, each with different rent levels and customer footfall. Businesses that benefit most from Ajman mainland licensing include retail, restaurants, cleaning services, car rental and trading, because they serve customers on site across the emirate. GoldenKey has licensed crypto & blockchain in Ajman for customers ranging from solo founders to groups opening a regional branch, so we know which sub-activities to list.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about Ajman. Anything else — ask GK AI or message us.
View all FAQsAre Ajman mainland companies subject to corporate tax?
Yes. Mainland companies pay 9% corporate tax on profits above AED 375,000 and must register with the FTA, which GoldenKey handles as part of your setup.
Do I still need an Emirati partner for a Ajman mainland company?
For most commercial and industrial activities, no. Since 2021 foreign nationals can own 100% of a Ajman mainland LLC. A short list of strategic activities still requires Emirati participation, and GoldenKey checks your activity before you commit.
How much office space do I need for a Ajman mainland licence?
The Ajman Department of Economic Development (Ajman DED) requires a registered tenancy for most licences. A small office or a desk in a business centre is enough for a few visas, and the visa quota increases with the floor area.
Is crypto & blockchain allowed in Ajman?
On the ground, crypto & Blockchain is not a natural fit for {ent} because technology development and consultancy can run on a standard free zone licence. GoldenKey will recommend the jurisdiction where it is licensed without restrictions and explain why.
Can I combine crypto & blockchain with other activities?
In most cases yes. Related activities can share one licence, while unrelated ones may need a general trading licence or a second licence.
