GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through RAKEZ company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. 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 pharmaceutical trading company businesses for clients in RAKEZ and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. In short, typical examples of this activity include medical device distribution, pharmacy supply, consumables trading and medical equipment, which can typically sit together on one RAKEZ licence.
