Business Setup in Al Nakheel

Who sets up in Al Nakheel

For most clients, al Nakheel attracts manufacturers, tourism operators and construction suppliers. Rents, footfall and parking differ from street to street, so we advise viewing two or three units before signing.

Licensing steps for Al Nakheel

The licence is granted by the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development (RAK DED). GoldenKey reserves the name, obtains initial approval, registers your tenancy contract for the Al Nakheel unit and submits the file; municipality and civil defence approvals follow for shops and food outlets.

Costs

Licence packages for Ras Al Khaimah mainland start from on request, plus rent for your Al Nakheel premises and any external approvals. We confirm every figure in writing.

Licensing steps

1. 
   Step 1

   Activity and legal form

   As we tell every client, we pick the precise activity codes from the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development (RAK DED) list and settle on the legal form — normally a LLC, or a sole establishment for individual professionals. For setting up a business in Al Nakheel this step rarely needs your presence; scans and e-signatures are enough.

   Step 2

   Trade name and initial approval

   GoldenKey reserves your trade name and obtains initial approval from the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development (RAK DED), including any external approvals your activity needs.

   Step 3

   You sign the memorandum of association before the notary or online, we register your tenancy contract and submit the full file. Nothing is submitted for setting up a business in Al Nakheel until you have reviewed and approved it.
