Free zone or mainland
- Ajman Free Zone lists this activity; check IFZA directly if you need a Dubai free-zone address on the licence.
- We hold no Dubai DET record for this activity, so treat mainland as unverified here rather than unavailable.
- Ajman Free Zone allows this activity only on warehouse or retail unit, so a virtual-office package will not carry it.
