Ampsy Consultancy LLC provides end-to-end business setup, support, and advisory services in the UAE.
Ajman Free Zone (AFZ) is one of the UAE's oldest and most cost-competitive free zones, established in 1988 next to Ajman Port and roughly 30 minutes from both Dubai and Sharjah. It hosts more than 9,000 companies from over 165 countries across trading, services, manufacturing and e-commerce, making it a strong fit for founders and SMEs who want a legitimate UAE presence without paying Dubai-level setup costs.
Low-Cost, Fast Setup: Licences start from around AED 5,500–6,000, among the lowest in the UAE, with most applications processed within a few working days.
Licence & Activity Flexibility: Trading, service, industrial and e-commerce licences are available, with the option to combine multiple activities under one licence.
100% Foreign Ownership: Full ownership with no local sponsor required, and unrestricted repatriation of profits and capital.
Facility Options: Flexi-desks and shared offices for service businesses, plus warehouses and industrial plots for manufacturing and trading operations.
Corporate Tax Position: AFZ entities can qualify for 0% corporate tax on qualifying income under the UAE's Qualifying Free Zone Person regime, with the standard 9% rate applying only above AED 375,000 of non-qualifying income.
Ampsy Consultancy manages the full AFZ company formation process, from trade name reservation and licence selection to document preparation and bank account coordination.

Find answers to common questions about this service.
No. AFZ registration can usually be completed remotely for most licence types. An in-person visit is only required for visa-related steps such as the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics.
You'll need passport copies of all shareholders, passport-sized photos, proposed trade name options and a description of your activity. Industrial or land-based activities also require a short business or project plan.
AFZ issues trading, general trading, service, industrial and e-commerce licences, and you can combine more than one activity under a single licence depending on the package you choose.
It depends on your licence. Service and trading licences can operate from a flexi-desk or shared office, while industrial and larger trading activities typically require a warehouse or dedicated unit, which also increases your visa allocation.
