Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone Revolutionizes Business Setup with 15-Minute Licenses and 48-Hour Visas
The UAE’s entrepreneurial landscape has just been given a major boost with the launch of the Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone (ANCFZ), which has already attracted more than 450 companies within just two months of its opening. This newly established free zone stands out in a crowded market of over 47 free zones in the UAE, thanks to its unique offering of ultra-fast business setup processes, cutting-edge digital services, and competitive pricing.
According to Rishi Somaiya, CEO of the Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone, the key to their success lies in exceptional customer service, quality, and efficiency—much like the approach of the successful Emirates airline. “People are ready to spend money for what they want,” Somaiya said, emphasizing the free zone’s ability to cater to the needs of entrepreneurs seeking a hassle-free, streamlined setup.
The UAE has long been a magnet for foreign direct investment (FDI), with its liberal regulations, low taxation, world-class security, and access to the coveted Golden Visa program. In addition, the UAE’s strategic location and robust connectivity, particularly through Emirates, Etihad, and FlyDubai, make it an ideal hub for global entrepreneurs.
For an affordable investment of Dh15,000 to Dh20,000, business owners can start their companies and receive a residency permit, a combination that is unmatched globally. The Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone builds on this by offering the added convenience of a fully digital platform for registration, ensuring minimal paperwork and allowing clients to complete their business setup from the comfort of their own homes.
Rapid Setup: License in 15 Minutes, Visa in 48 Hours
One of the standout features of ANCFZ is its promise of speed. Unlike traditional free zones that take several days to process business licenses and visas, ANCFZ boasts a revolutionary 15-minute business license approval and a 48-hour visa issuance—dramatically faster than the typical 14-15 day turnaround seen in other free zones.
“We give the client a licence in 15 minutes. With all the compliances in place, we issue the visa within 48 hours. No one can beat that pricing and speed,” said Somaiya. This efficient and responsive approach is a key differentiator for ANCFZ, as it provides entrepreneurs with the flexibility to get their businesses up and running in record time.
Diverse Licensing Opportunities for Emerging Industries
The free zone also caters to the needs of modern entrepreneurs with licenses available for activities in trending industries like blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and gaming. With the growing demand for gaming software development and new-age tech innovations, ANCFZ is positioning itself as a hub for cutting-edge businesses looking to expand their footprint in the UAE.
In addition to these specialized sectors, the free zone offers office spaces, co-working spaces, and shared office setups, giving entrepreneurs the flexibility to choose the setup that best suits their business needs.
Affordable and Competitive Pricing
ANCFZ offers an incredibly competitive pricing model that challenges other free zones in the region. For just Dh12,000, entrepreneurs can secure a business license, visa, and 10 activities. The cost becomes even more attractive with an upfront payment, dropping to Dh10,800, which includes a two-year visa and rapid processing.
Somaiya highlights that the pricing and speed of service make ANCFZ a game-changer for entrepreneurs in the UAE. “For Dh10,800, you get a company license with 10 activities and a visa for two years within 48 hours. Nobody can beat that pricing or speed,” he said.
Supporting the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
The launch of ANCFZ also reflects a shift in global business trends, where young people are increasingly becoming entrepreneurs from day one. As Somaiya points out, many young minds today are highly intelligent and have a wealth of exposure, driving them to seek opportunities beyond traditional job roles. The free zone aims to empower these young entrepreneurs by providing them with the infrastructure and support they need to thrive.
Moreover, ANCFZ has partnered with several local banks, helping its licensed companies open bank accounts within a week to 10 days—another step in making the business setup process as seamless as possible.
With a focus on speed, service, and simplicity, the Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone is quickly becoming the go-to destination for entrepreneurs and investors looking to set up businesses in the UAE. As the region’s most business-friendly free zone, ANCFZ is poised to play a major role in driving the UAE’s economic growth and innovation for years to come.
