About Business Setup in Ajman Free Zone

Quick Answer

Ajman Free Zone company formation involves choosing your business activity, securing the required approvals, and obtaining your trade licence from the free zone authority. AR Star Management Consultancy handles the entire process end-to-end — typically within 24–72 hours — with 100% ownership, investor visa, and corporate bank account support.

Ajman Free Zone (AFZ) is one of the UAE's oldest and most affordable free zones, established in 1988. Located adjacent to Ajman Port, AFZ has built a strong reputation for trading, logistics, and general business activities. Its ultra-competitive pricing and simple setup procedures make it a favourite among small businesses and traders.

AFZ offers a range of business facilities including office spaces, warehouses, and industrial plots at prices significantly lower than Dubai-based free zones. The free zone's location provides easy access to Ajman Port for import-export operations, making it ideal for trading companies seeking cost-effective port access.

AR Star provides streamlined AFZ setup services, leveraging our deep relationship with the free zone authority to deliver fast, efficient processing. We handle everything from application to license issuance and visa processing.
