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 founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through RAKEZ company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. RAKEZ combines competitive pricing with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, and that is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups.
As a rule, one of the reasons our advice is to choose RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. RAKEZ is located in Ras Al Khaimah emirate — 45 minutes from Dubai via Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and the authority's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days. Unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is granted.

View all FAQsHow long does the RAKEZ licence take?
From day one, once your paperwork are complete, the authority normally issues the licence within 5 business 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.
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.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in RAKEZ?
Most RAKEZ licences can be granted remotely with scanned supporting documents and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your UAE residence visa is processed.
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 papers, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
