Since its establishment in 1988, Ajman Free Zone has perpetuated the undeviating growth of local businesses regardless of their size, hence playing a pivotal role in the economic status within the emirate; cultivating the soil for more business to be set up and in turn, smoothen the transition of entering the industry by competitive packages at even more competitive prices.
Setting up a business can be a tedious process, especially when a young and aspiring businessperson is behind it.

To remedy this, AFZ targets the younger audience by launching products such as ‘The Business Centre’, a studiously constructed starter pack aimed at eliminating all obstacles that may arise in the way of an aspiring entrepreneur planning to establish a business for prices starting from just AED11, 900. This is inclusive of a 100sq.m warehouse for all company storage purposes, where the usual price starts from AED35, 000 and is aimed at companies with rapid turn arounds.
The ‘Smart Office’ is yet another AFZ exclusive, which is a customized office set up inclusive of 2 visas. This is to eradicate the inconvenience of having to search for empty spaces in random locations and also spares entrepreneurs from disorienting ranges of office prices and spaces, and the price of this package starts from AED21, 900. Conclusively, Ajman Free Zone also provides installment plans to add another layer of assistance in order to alleviate the process even further and reduce the burden of overt investments. This would also help diminish hesitation and reluctance to found businesses due to reasons relating to entry costs and financial circumstances.
