WhatsApp quoteRAKEZ combines competitive pricing with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, and for that reason it suits both first-time founders and established groups. RAKEZ issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ras Al Khaimah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. On the ground, for Chinese business owners, the UAE is around 8 hours from Beijing or Shanghai from Beijing, 4 hours ahead of the UAE, and Mandarin-speaking support is available through our partner network. Chinese nationals are a community of roughly 200,000 to 300,000 people, with Dragon Mart and International City as its commercial heart, so the RAKEZ authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Chinese applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why RAKEZ
In our experience, 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 is located in Ras Al Khaimah emirate — 45 minutes from Dubai via Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and the authority's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days (Monday to Friday).
