People often ask what it costs to set up in Ajman Free Zone. The honest answer is that there is no single figure: the total depends on choices you make. Quotes you see online mix licence fees, premises, visas and agent charges, so they are hard to compare. This guide explains what drives the total so you can ask for a quote that is easy to compare.
What decides the cost
- The licence type. Commercial, professional, industrial and freelance licences are priced differently (see licence types).
- The number of activities. More activities on one licence can change the fee.
- Premises. A business centre office, an executive office and a warehouse are priced differently.
- Visas. The number of people you plan to sponsor affects the total.
- Service and agent fees. These vary by provider and by how much work they handle.
Costs after setup
Plan for annual licence renewal, premises rent, visa renewals, accounting and, where it applies, tax registration and filings. A low first-year price can hide higher running costs, so ask for the full picture.
How to compare quotes
- Ask what the quote includes: licence, premises, name registration, visas and agent fees.
- Ask for the renewal cost in year two, not only year one.
- Check whether the activity on the quote matches your real business.
- Get the quote in writing.
Why we do not publish a price
