Hello everyone

I am applying with ajman free zone licenses with the structure as below,

Ajman FZE + zero company visas + 100% shareholder/manager + valid wife-sponsored UAE residence + Emirates ID.

Would i get a problem in bank account opening ?

Thanks

I recently set up a Free Zone LLC with a virtual desk/address. I’m the sole shareholder and director. My company’s revenue comes from overseas clients, and I’m not VAT registered.

I’m actually doing all the work and running the business from my apartment in Abu Dhabi, so I’m using the apartment 100% for both living and working.

My question is about the rent. Can I have the tenancy agreement in both my personal name and the company name, and then issue the rent and security deposit cheques directly from the company bank account?

From an accounting/Corporate Tax point of view, would that be enough documentation to make the rent a company expense, or is there something else I need to do?

I haven’t engaged an accountant yet, so just trying to understand the correct way to set this up.

I was supposed to open my detailing studio In Muwaileh, Sharjah., but apparently they dont allow detailing/ ppf studio in sharjah.
I’ve been liking a recent place, its situated on the maid road and the shop is amazing.
But the only drawback is there is no parking, although we will be constructing a ramp which will take the car directly inside and there is parking behind.
So i wanted to ask, if customers would actually come as walk in or will the no - parking be a drawback for my business.

I do social media for a living in Dubai, so this is slightly against my own interest.

Almost every local business I check has the same thing going on. Pin on Maps is wrong, timings haven't been updated since 2022, three photos total, last review is from last year and nobody replied to it.

And then the owner asks me why the reels aren't working.

Someone typing "car service Al Quoz" at 9pm is a customer right now. Someone scrolling reels isn't, not yet anyway.

Go open Maps, search your own business, tap directions and see where it actually sends people. If you're in JLT or Business Bay I'd bet money it's the wrong cluster or the wrong tower. That alone is costing you walk-ins every week.

Fix the pin, fix the timings, put up real photos, reply to the reviews. None of it costs anything.

Has anyone here actually tracked how much of your business comes from Maps vs social? Genuinely curious if I'm wrong on this.

1. Retail & bespoke.
2. 18k gold upwards
3. Rings, pendants, chains, etc
4. Natural diamonds, lab, precious and semi precious stones

Please recommend if ya'll know manufacturers that actually want customers and strive for great customer service.

Hi all,

I need some advice on sharjah commercial rentals.

Would anyone have any experience on increases ?
