RAKEZ issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ras Al Khaimah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. In practice, 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. Serbia and the UAE have strong investment ties, especially in agriculture, real estate and aviation, which gives Serbian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their RAKEZ licence is issued. The most common businesses Serbians open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, construction, agriculture exports and hospitality, although RAKEZ supports almost any activity.
Why RAKEZ
In our experience, one of the reasons we recommend RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. Industrial zones with factory units from 200 sq m.
