This strategic collaboration unites ANCFZ’s mission to enhance the ease of doing business in Ajman with Wio Bank’s commitment to delivering next-generation, digital-first banking experiences tailored to the needs of modern entrepreneurs. By embedding financial services directly into the company formation journey, the partnership eliminates traditional barriers, accelerates time-to-launch, and equips business owners with the tools and confidence to succeed.

Entrepreneurs setting up in ANCFZ will benefit from a fully digital onboarding experience, including the ability to submit a Wio Business account application in minutes and activate their account within three working days – significantly faster than traditional banking timelines. This integration addresses a long-standing challenge in SME setup and positions ANCFZ as a differentiated free zone offering in the UAE. “At Wio Bank, we are committed to empowering SMEs and entrepreneurs with smart, intuitive banking solutions designed around their ambitions. This partnership with ANCFZ is a powerful demonstration of that commitment in action. In line with the UAE’s vision to make business easier, faster, and more accessible, we’re showing how digital transformation can drive real-world impact. By integrating banking into the business setup journey, we’re not only removing barriers – we’re creating a launchpad for opportunity, growth, and long-term success.” – Prateek Vahie, Chief Commercial Officer, Wio Bank PJSC “Our mission is to make business setup seamless. Partnering with Wio Bank takes this vision further by integrating essential banking directly into the journey.

Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone (ANCFZ), the UAE’s most innovative business setup destination, has introduced a flexible new offering: the “Pay as You Go” package — a forward-thinking, investor-friendly solution designed to eliminate high startup costs and empower entrepreneurs to launch and grow their businesses at their own pace. In a market where affordability, adaptability, and simplicity are more important than ever, the “Pay as You Go” model offers a smarter path to entrepreneurship. Investors can now establish their companies with minimal upfront costs and choose to pay for additional services — such as visa processing, legal documentation, or office upgrades only when they’re needed. “Ajman NuVentures is redefining the business setup experience,” said Rishi Somaiya, CEO of Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone. “With ‘Pay as You Go’, we’re enabling founders to avoid upfront financial burdens, giving them the freedom to scale strategically. It reinforces our goal of giving entrepreneurs the autonomy they need to build and grow their ventures.” Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone sets itself apart by offering two-hour business license issuance, 24-hour visa processing, and a fully digital portal where ANCFZ specialists manage all setup and administrative tasks on behalf of clients. This allows entrepreneurs to focus on growing their businesses while ANCFZ handles the complexities traditionally associated with business registration and compliance. Designed to meet the needs of today’s fast-paced business landscape, ANCFZ’s launch of the “Pay as You Go” package highlights its ongoing commitment to removing barriers, enhancing accessibility, and supporting sustainable economic growth, in alignment with Ajman Vision 2030.
