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. RAKEZ combines competitive pricing with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time company owners and established groups. In practice, education & Training in RAKEZ means training centres, tutoring, corporate training, e-learning and vocational institutes, and it is licensed as a professional activity. Put simply, the most common businesses Filipinos open through GoldenKey are in retail, food and beverage, healthcare and hospitality, although RAKEZ supports almost any activity.
Why RAKEZ
Unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is granted. Day to day, 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.

Why the UAE
As we tell every client, the dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for opening a training institute in the UAE as a Filipino founder and makes international pricing simple. The UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international clients and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for opening a training institute in the UAE as a Filipino founder.

Frequently asked questions
Can a RAKEZ company do business on the UAE mainland?
A RAKEZ company can sell to mainland customers through a mainland distributor, invoice services to mainland clients for most applicants, and apply for a dual-licence arrangement where the emirate offers one. Direct retail or on-site contracting on the mainland needs a mainland licence.
Is an audit required for a RAKEZ company?
Requirements vary by zone and by company size. GoldenKey will confirm the current RAKEZ rule when we prepare your quotation, and we provide bookkeeping if you need accounts in any case for corporate tax.
How many visas can I get with a RAKEZ licence?
From day one, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. RAKEZ packages normally start from a zero-visa option and scale to five or more visas with a physical office, and additional visas can be added later for the per-visa fee shown in our pricing.
Can a Filipino citizen own 100% of a company in RAKEZ?
Yes, it can. Filipinos can own the full share capital of a RAKEZ company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
