RAKEZ Company Formation for Nigerians

Why RAKEZ

Day to day, unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. Crucially, one of the reasons we recommend RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most business owners realise once the business is running. Many Nigerian company owners run RAKEZ companies alongside an existing business in Nigeria, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
