What Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone is, who runs it and where
2024The youngest licensing zone of Ajman
Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone, ANCFZ or ANC for short, is the youngest of the zones that license companies in Ajman. The Ruler of Ajman created it by Amiri Decree No. 15 of 2023, in force since 1 January 2024.
ANCFZA zone of the Government of Ajman
ANCFZ belongs to the Government of Ajman and stands outside the Free Zones Authority of Ajman, the body that runs Ajman Free Zone and Ajman Media City. Its chairman is Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdullah Al Nuaimi.
2025A desk in Dubai, the head office in Ajman
A representative office opened in Dubai in September 2025. The head office is in Amber Gem Tower on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street, Al Rashidiya 3, Ajman.
100%Foreign-owned, no paid-up capital
A foreigner owns 100% of a company here with no local partner, and most activities need no paid-up capital. By the zone's count of September 2025 it has passed 5,000 investors and founders.
Ajman NuVentures visa packages, multi-year terms and renewal
24 to 48 hoursWhat a visa package adds
A visa package adds the immigration work to the license: security approval, e-channel, establishment card, entry permit, change of status, medical test in Ajman, residence visa and Emirates ID. The zone issues a visa 24 to 48 hours after the company is registered. The ANC+ desk files dependants' visas.
AED 10,080A year when paid for five, and how renewal runs
Paid for five years, the one-visa package comes to AED 10,080 a year. At renewal you may step down to the visas in use. The zone allows one month of grace after the expiry date, and its schedule of fines sets AED 250 for a license left unrenewed past it. Payment splits into four instalments through Tabby.

What clients write about Legarithm
4.8 on Google from 26 reviews.
We had long been looking for someone to register a company in the UAE and help with the account. With Legarithm it went as it should: a clear process, help with the documents, no red tape.
Everything is well coordinated and clear. Half an hour of the first meeting was more useful than two weeks of trying to work it out myself.

Ajman NuVentures license, activities and company forms
The package price covers up to 10 activities, and they may come from different fields: trading with marketing and consultancy, for example.
The published list has tabs for services, for commercial and trading work and for blockchain and AI. Beside each activity it names the authority that must approve it: SIRA for security work, the Media Regulatory Office for media.
One owner, a person or a company, registers an FZE, two or more an FZC, and an existing company a branch. All three cost the same: the package price follows the number of visas.
Lease agreement, commercial registry, share certificate, certificates of incorporation and incumbency and a letter for the bank.
A flexi-desk comes under the package terms. Shared and private offices, an Executive Office package and a Retail package serve a business that needs premises.
Who Ajman NuVentures suits, and when another zone fits better
- An owner who lives abroad
- The zero-visa package licenses the company for AED 4,888 a year. The zone registers it remotely on passport copies and e-signatures.
- Online sellers
- E-Commerce and E-Commerce Through Social Media are both on the activity list, and the zone states that UAE marketplaces accept its license.
- Consultants, agencies and IT firms
- One license mixes 10 activities, so consulting, marketing and software sit in one company.
- Web3 and AI firms
- The zone keeps a list of its own for this work: Web3 accelerators, metaverse consultancy, AI data analysis, gaming quality assurance.
- A team of up to ten
- Packages carry 1 to 10 visas, each with the establishment card, the medical test, the residence visa and the Emirates ID.
- When another zone fits better
- Stock that needs a warehouse by a port belongs in Ajman Free Zone. A freelancer who works under their own name takes Ajman Media City, and a team past 10 visas takes Shams, with 50 on a license.
Corporate tax, VAT and the bank account for an Ajman NuVentures company
0% and 9%Federal corporate tax applies
The founding decree frees the Centre's companies from tax for 30 years and leaves federal tax law in force. So federal corporate tax applies: 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000, 9% above it, one return a year.
0%On the qualifying income of a qualifying person
An Ajman NuVentures company that is a Qualifying Free Zone Person pays 0% on qualifying income. Distribution of goods qualifies when it runs from a designated zone, and the Federal Tax Authority lists one in Ajman: Ajman Free Zone. A company that trades goods from here counts on the standard rate.
5%VAT, compulsory from AED 375,000 of turnover
VAT is 5%, with VAT registration in the UAE compulsory from AED 375,000 of taxable turnover in 12 months and open from AED 187,500. Our accountants file each VAT return as part of accounting, from $350 a month.
3 working daysFor Wio to activate an approved account
The license arrives with a letter for the bank. The zone has agreements with Wio Bank, Ruya Bank and ADIB: a company applies to Wio online in minutes, and an approved account is active within 3 working days. Other banks usually take 2 to 4 weeks.
