WhatsApp quoteFounders choose RAKEZ when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. RAKEZ issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ras Al Khaimah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. As a rule, setting up a company in RAKEZ gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family.
Why RAKEZ
Just as important, merger of RAK Free Trade Zone and RAK Investment Authority. One of the reasons we recommend RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. Unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued.

Each visa is processed by GoldenKey for the per-visa fee shown above and remains valid for two years. If you later need more visas than the quota, we upgrade the office option rather than starting a new licence.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in RAKEZ?
Most RAKEZ licences can be issued remotely with scanned documents and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residence visa is completed.
Is an audit required for a RAKEZ company?
To be clear, requirements vary by zone and by company size. GoldenKey will confirm the current RAKEZ rule when we prepare your quotation, and we provide bookkeeping if you need accounts in any case for corporate tax.
Can a RAKEZ company do business on the UAE mainland?
A RAKEZ company can sell to mainland customers through a mainland distributor, invoice services to mainland clients in most cases, and apply for a dual-licence arrangement where the emirate offers one. Direct retail or on-site contracting on the mainland needs a mainland licence.
How long does the RAKEZ licence take?
In short, once your documents are complete, the authority as a rule issues the licence within 5 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
What is the difference between an FZE and an FZCO in RAKEZ?
An FZE has one shareholder and an FZCO has two or more. Both offer limited liability and 100% foreign ownership, and the fees in RAKEZ are usually the same.
