WhatsApp quoteAs a rule, 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. A RAKEZ company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. GoldenKey has licensed perfume and cosmetics business businesses for clients in RAKEZ and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. Importantly, typical examples of this activity include perfume wholesale, private-label skincare, cosmetics retail and oud trading, which can usually sit together on one RAKEZ licence.
Why RAKEZ
RAKEZ is located in Ras Al Khaimah emirate — 45 minutes from Dubai via Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and the registrar's processing time for a standard file is around 5 business days. 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. RAKEZ is a sensible home for perfume & cosmetics trading because trading, private-label and retail of perfumes, skincare and cosmetics is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.

Why the UAE
The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for perfume & cosmetics trading in RAKEZ and makes international pricing simple. On the ground, the UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international clients and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for perfume & cosmetics trading in RAKEZ.
