Frequently asked questions
Can I add more activities to my RAKEZ licence later?
It can. RAKEZ allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few business days for a small authority fee.
Is an audit required for a RAKEZ company?
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 documents, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
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 long does the RAKEZ licence take?
Once your papers are complete, the authority typically issues the licence within 5 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
