About RAKEZ
Why RAKEZ
RAKEZ is RAK's all-in-one economic zone — business, industrial and academic licences, and it has become one of the most practical choices for company owners who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. RAKEZ issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ras Al Khaimah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Business Consulting in RAKEZ means management, strategy, HR, marketing or operations consulting for corporate customers, and it is licensed as a professional activity. Typical examples of this activity include management consultancy, HR consultancy, marketing consultancy and project management, which can usually sit together on one RAKEZ licence.
Put simply, popular activities in RAKEZ include trading, industrial, consultancy, services and manufacturing, and most of them can be combined on a single licence. Office options in RAKEZ range from flexi-desk, office suite, warehouse, industrial unit or land lease, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. For business consulting, RAKEZ offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about RAKEZ. Anything else — ask GK AI or message us.
View all FAQsDo I need to visit the UAE to set up in RAKEZ?
Most RAKEZ licences can be granted remotely with scanned paperwork 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 handled.
How long does the RAKEZ licence take?
Once your documents are complete, the authority for most applicants issues the licence within 5 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
How many visas can I get with a RAKEZ licence?
Visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. RAKEZ packages typically start from a zero-visa option and scale to five or more visas with a physical office, and additional visas can be added later for the per-visa fee shown in our pricing.
Is business consulting allowed in RAKEZ?
It can. Business Consulting is an available activity in {ent}, and GoldenKey lists the exact sub-activities on your licence. None for general management consulting; financial, legal and engineering advice have separate rules.
Can I combine business consulting with other activities?
For most clients, in most cases yes. Related activities can share one licence, while unrelated ones may need a general trading licence or a second licence.

Good to know
More about RAKEZ
Why the UAE
As a rule, since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so business consulting in RAKEZ no longer requires a local partner. Banking, logistics, telecoms and digital government services in the UAE are among the most advanced in the region, which keeps the running costs of business consulting in RAKEZ predictable.
Why GoldenKey
In short, you deal with one named consultant from the first call until your RAKEZ licence, visa and bank introduction are complete, and that consultant answers your WhatsApp messages personally. GoldenKey is based in Ajman Free Zone and has helped entrepreneurs from more than 60 countries with business consulting in RAKEZ, so the paperwork, approvals and timing hold no surprises for us. GoldenKey's consultants have handled business consulting in RAKEZ for traders, consultants, tech entrepreneurs and family offices, which gives us a realistic view of what each authority approves quickly.
