WhatsApp quoteThis illustrative scenario shows how an Italian founder set up a pharmaceutical trading company in Ras Al Khaimah with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
An Italian entrepreneur from Rome wanted to launch a pharmaceutical trading company serving customers in the UAE and Italy. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Ras Al Khaimah
Crucially, after comparing options, Ras Al Khaimah was chosen for its low licence and rent costs and because pharmaceutical & medical supplies is a well-established activity there. GoldenKey confirmed the activity code and the visa package in the first consultation.
The process
GoldenKey reserved the trade name, obtained initial approval and submitted attested supporting documents from Italy. The licence was issued in line with the usual Ras Al Khaimah timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
With the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to pharmaceutical & medical supplies. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
To be clear, the business was invoicing customers within weeks of the first call, with a UAE address, a resident founder and a compliance calendar managed by GoldenKey. The same path is available to any Italian founder considering pharmaceutical & medical supplies in Ras Al Khaimah.
