Holding Company in RAKEZ

Why RAKEZ

Crucially, 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. From day one, unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. For holding company, RAKEZ offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.

Why the UAE

In our experience, since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so holding company in RAKEZ no longer requires a local partner. Just as important, the UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, and for that reason so many company owners choose it as a base for holding company in RAKEZ.

Why GoldenKey

To be clear, every RAKEZ package we quote already includes the licence, registration, the establishment card where applicable and our full assistance, with no hidden add-ons at the end. Our quotations for holding company in RAKEZ list every government fee and our service fee on one page, in writing, ahead of payment anything.
