WhatsApp quoteSetting 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. RAKEZ combines competitive pricing with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. A RAKEZ company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued.
Why RAKEZ
One of the reasons we recommend RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most entrepreneurs 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 released. In our experience, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch, which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch.

Flexi-desk explained
A flexi-desk is a shared workstation you can use on a booking basis. It satisfies the office requirement for small visa quotas and includes meeting-room access, which is useful for bank meetings. In RAKEZ, GoldenKey matches the office option to the visa quota you actually need so you are not paying for space you will not use.
Why the UAE
Residence visas for owners and families come with the company, which makes a flexi-desk licence in RAKEZ a route to relocation as well as a business decision. English is the working language of business, contracts are routinely drafted in English, and government portals are bilingual, which simplifies a flexi-desk licence in RAKEZ for international founders.

Frequently asked questions
How many visas can I get with a RAKEZ licence?
For most clients, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. RAKEZ packages as a rule 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 an audit required for a RAKEZ company?
From day one, 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 I open a UAE bank account with a RAKEZ company?
Yes, RAKEZ companies open accounts with UAE banks every day. Approval depends on the bank's compliance review of your profile, business plan and paperwork, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
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.
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.
