Pharmaceutical & Medical Supplies in RAKEZ

Importing and distributing medicines, medical devices and healthcare consumables

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.

Why RAKEZ

One of the reasons our advice is to choose RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. RAKEZ licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date. RAKEZ is a sensible home for pharmaceutical & medical supplies because importing and distributing medicines, medical devices and healthcare consumables is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.
