IT & Software in RAKEZ

Why RAKEZ

Importantly, office options in RAKEZ range from flexi-desk, office suite, warehouse, industrial unit or land lease, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. In practice, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch, which covers solo company owners, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. RAKEZ is a sensible home for it & software because software development, SaaS, app development, IT consulting and managed services is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.
