Overview
Ajman offshore companies are registered with the Ajman Free Zone Authority through an approved registered agent, and we act in that role for you. From choosing the right structure to opening your corporate bank account, we handle every stage.
It is the right fit if you want to invoice international clients, hold shares or property, or protect assets. It is not designed for trading inside the UAE or sponsoring visas; for that you’ll want a free zone or mainland company, which we can set up alongside.
