Following the announcement of their successful international expansion earlier this year, AFZ is proactively assisting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to set up their business in a fast and an efficient manner, said a statement from the free zone.  

The free zone is involved in providing first rate and quality assured services and amenities in order to bring in a concentrated focus in the business, it said.

The Ajman Free Zone recently announced a slew of services which are considered to be first in the business:

• Instalments.

• Licenses in 24 hours.
• Multiple international offices facilitating easy access for prospective clients to set up their company.

The free zone has been rolling out a slew of pioneering measures to increasingly attract SME and other categories of investors to its premises which now houses over 15,000 companies. AFZ has also been taking these new investment platforms to global investor community in key markets across the world through road shows and participation in exhibitions with positive responses, said the statement.

Mahmood Al Hashemi, general manager, AFZ, said: “After the global expansion plans in early 2016, we would now like to synergise our focus on the offering being made at the end-user level.”
