The floor of the UAE cost curve. E-commerce, small trading and holding on a tight cost line.

Ajman Free Zone packages start at AED 5,555. Solo trading and e-commerce licences run under AED 8,000 all-in.

Ajman’s digital setup pipeline is one of the fastest in the country — the file moves without intermediaries.

The zone is not trying to be everything. It works for founders whose model does not need Dubai branding or ADGM regulation.

Sonsoto quoted us a line-item budget for the licence, visas and the bank pack up front. Nothing crept in later. That alone was worth the fee.
I’d already been rejected by two banks. Sonsoto told me why, changed the pack, and we opened with WIO in three weeks. Straight answers, no theatre.
They caught a corporate-tax filing we were about to miss and re-scoped the renewals so we stopped paying twice for the same work. Now they run everything.
We’d spoken to four firms and got four different price sheets. Sonsoto was the only one that showed us where the extras came from — and we didn’t need them.
Golden Visa done, family visas done, licence renewed. Same team, same WhatsApp thread. I don’t chase PRO agents anymore.
They told me RAK was a better fit than Dubai for our margin. I’d already paid a deposit somewhere else. They still refunded my Sonsoto retainer and helped me exit.
