WhatsApp quoteDay to day, since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Ajman mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection founders used to have. Choosing Ajman mainland gives you a licence that landlords, government departments and large corporate customers recognise without a second thought. GoldenKey has licensed recruitment agency businesses for customers in Ajman and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. As we tell every client, typical examples of this activity include recruitment agency, manpower supply, HR outsourcing and executive search, which can usually sit together on one Ajman licence.
Why Ajman
Government and semi-government tenders in Ajman require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges. 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. For recruitment & hr services, Ajman offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
