According to Formenzo’s 2026 UAE Free Zone Price Index, Ajman NuVentures is cheaper than SRTIP at the entry visa counts. Licence-only, Ajman is AED 4,888 against SRTIP’s AED 5,500 — and Ajman is the cheapest UAE free zone overall. Add one residence visa and Ajman is AED 10,800 all-in versus AED 12,500 at SRTIP, a saving of AED 1,700. The trade-off is focus, not just price: SRTIP is the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park, built for tech, research and innovation companies that value its specialist ecosystem and university links — something Ajman’s general-purpose packages do not offer. Both give 100% foreign ownership and issue licences in 3–8 working days. In short: choose Ajman to spend the least, choose SRTIP if its innovation-park environment fits your business. The full fee-by-fee comparison follows below.
| Ajman NuVentures | SRTIP | |
|---|---|---|
| All-in price (licence only) | AED 4,888 cheaper | AED 5,500 |
| Licence + 1 residence visa | AED 10,800 cheaper | AED 12,500 |
| Licence + 2 residence visas | AED 16,200 cheaper | AED 17,795 |
| Emirate | Ajman | Sharjah |
| 100% foreign ownership | Yes | Yes |
