## Frequently asked questions

### Does Dubai Setup Index set up companies in Ajman Media City Free Zone?

Not currently. We document this zone so you can compare it honestly, while Dubai Setup Index handles applications in IFZA and Ajman.

No. Free zones license under their own authority. A Dubai mainland company is licensed by DET and normally needs Ejari-registered premises.
