About RAKEZ
Why RAKEZ
On the ground, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, RAKEZ deserves a close look for its competitive pricing and uncomplicated renewal process. 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. Founders 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.
Importantly, unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. The authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch, which covers solo entrepreneurs, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. One of the reasons we recommend RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running.

Straight answers about RAKEZ. Anything else — ask GK AI or message us.
View all FAQsHow long does the RAKEZ licence take?
In short, once your paperwork are complete, the authority typically issues the licence within 5 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
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 documents, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
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 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?
As a rule, 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 processed.
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 typically the same.

Good to know
More about RAKEZ
About the Free Zone Establishment (FZE)
The FZE is the go-to structure for solo founders in every major free zone and can later convert to a FZCO by adding shareholders.
Why the UAE
The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) in RAKEZ and makes international pricing simple. There are no restrictions on repatriating profits or capital, so earnings from a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) in RAKEZ can be moved to your home country or reinvested freely.
Why GoldenKey
GoldenKey is based in Ajman Free Zone and has helped founders from more than 60 countries with a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) in RAKEZ, so the paperwork, approvals and timing hold no surprises for us. Our office is a short drive from the Ajman Free Zone, Ajman DED and the immigration centre, so physical submissions for a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) in RAKEZ happen the same day they are ready. In practice, if a document is missing or an approval is delayed on your RAKEZ file, we tell you immediately and explain the fix, rather than letting the submission sit.
