About RAKEZ
Why RAKEZ
Put simply, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, RAKEZ deserves a close look for its competitive pricing and routine renewal process. RAKEZ combines competitive pricing with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, so it suits both first-time founders and established groups. GoldenKey has licensed fitness business businesses for clients in RAKEZ and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. Crucially, typical examples of this activity include gym, yoga studio, sports academy and online coaching, which can usually sit together on one RAKEZ licence.
From day one, 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 fitness & sports, RAKEZ offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.

Frequently asked questions
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?
In short, 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 residency visa is processed.
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.
Can I add more activities to my RAKEZ licence later?
Yes — RAKEZ allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few working days (Monday to Friday) for a small authority fee.
Which licence type covers fitness & sports?
Put simply, fitness & Sports is classified as a professional activity, and GoldenKey selects the exact activity code so your licence matches what you actually do.
What approvals does fitness & sports need?
Dubai Sports Council or local equivalent for physical facilities. GoldenKey obtains these as part of the setup.
