Business Setup
Business Setup in Ajman
One team explains the visa stages, licence packages and tax duties. Zone charges change with packages, visa counts and years, so we confirm your exact current figures in a written quote before anything is paid. Bestax runs the setup, the visas and the tax registrations behind them, as an FTA-approved tax agency under Tax Agency Approval Number 30008692.
Why it matters
Why Business Setup in Ajman matters
Ajman runs two free zone authorities and most guides only mention one. Ajman Free Zone is the established authority, Ajman NuVentures Center is the newer one, and Ajman Media City operates separately for media activities. We compare all of them against your plan before anything is paid.
Both authorities compared
Two free zones price differently for the same plan, and we quote from both before you choose.
Every charge itemised, in writing
Each visa is a fixed set of zone and government charges, never a Bestax fee. Your written quote lists every line at current rates before you pay anything.
Tax registered inside the setup
The three-month corporate tax deadline is met before it exists, and the same FTA-approved tax agency stays on for the filings.
A free zone licence is not a tax exemption
Corporate tax is federal. The 0% rate applies only to Qualifying Free Zone Persons, with audited statements among the conditions; everyone else pays 0% to AED 375,000 and 9% above it.
What we provide
What the engagement covers
The package is picked from your visa count and your office needs, because licence type, visa quota and workspace price together.
Zero visa licences
For owners who already hold UAE residency.
One visa trading packages
For solo founders starting to trade.
Pioneer and freelance entry routes
For individuals licensing a single activity at minimum cost. These carry the lowest published charges.
Pay-as-you-go packages at NuVentures
For founders who add visas only when hiring starts.
Warehouse packages
For industrial operators, with eligibility for large visa quotas — the warehouse package carries eligibility for 35.
Shared and dedicated offices
Priced by size, and the space shapes your visa quota, so we plan both together.
How it works
The process, step by step
Zone and activity
We compare the authorities against your activity, visa count and budget. You get the recommendation in writing.
Package matched
Licence type, visa quota and workspace are set together, because they price together.
Licence issued
Standard files are completed within days once documents are ready. You receive written dates first.
Visas processed
E-channel registration once with a refundable deposit; the entry permit, allowing entry within 60 days; status change and stamping in about three to five days; medicals at a registered clinic; Emirates ID biometrics and issuance.
Bank and tax
We support the corporate account and complete your tax registrations inside the setup. The renewal date goes on our calendar, not yours.
