Company Setup with Ajman DED (Mainland) in Ajman

A mainland company in Ajman (from AED 25,000, done for you)

Ajman's Department of Economic Development licenses mainland companies in one of the UAE's most affordable emirates. This gives you a legitimate mainland presence with 100% foreign ownership, around 30 to 45 minutes from Dubai, without Dubai-level costs. Setups start from AED 25,000 all-in, based on formations we have actually completed. Your exact figure depends on your activity, structure and visa count, so a consultant confirms it for you.

We have started 1,400+ companies over 19+ years. We handle the licence, the approvals, the visas and the bank introductions, so you get one team from name reservation through to a running business.

The DED prices each licence on activity, structure and premises because there is no fixed published grid. The AED 25,000 is a real starting point, not your final number. Get the exact figure in one free call.

What an Ajman mainland licence gives you

A mainland licence lets you trade directly across the UAE market with no distributor and no restriction on who you sell to. Under the 2021 amendment to Federal Commercial Companies Law No. 2 of 2015, most activities now allow 100% foreign ownership. A short list of strategic sectors still requires UAE national majority ownership. We confirm where your specific activity falls before you commit to anything.

A mainland licence requires a real tenancy registered through Ejari (that is what links your licence to a physical address) and your office size drives your visa quota. We arrange all of it as part of the setup.

How long it takes

Mainland incorporations typically complete in 3 to 7 working days once documents are submitted. Timelines depend on your activity and the authority's own processing schedule. We confirm a realistic date with you at the start rather than quoting a headline number.

What you'll need

Broadly:

• Passport copies for all shareholders and managers
• Proposed trade name and business activity
• Ejari tenancy for your registered premises
• Initial approvals and MOA notarisation (we handle these)

We confirm the exact list for your specific activity before anything is submitted, so nothing stalls halfway through.

Corporate tax, briefly

Corporate tax is 9% on net profit above AED 375,000, for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023, with 0% below that threshold. You can verify this on the Federal Tax Authority website. Registration with the FTA is required regardless of whether you owe anything, and we handle your registration and filing end to end.

Banking: our sharpest advantage

Every consultant says they assist with banking. We have named account-opening officers at 10+ UAE banks and have opened 1,000+ accounts. We know exactly what each bank's compliance team will ask because we have done it a thousand times. We prepare your file, brief you on the source-of-funds questions and manage the process through to a live account. See bank account opening for what that involves.

Considering Ajman more broadly?

If a lean, lower-cost setup matters more than direct mainland trade, Ajman Free Zone is worth a look. This offers a real UAE company at a low entry cost, which we register directly. On a short call we will weigh mainland against free zone options against your actual activity and tell you which fits.
