WhatsApp quoteCrucially, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, RAKEZ deserves a close look for its competitive pricing and routine renewal process. RAKEZ is RAK's all-in-one economic zone — business, industrial and academic licences, and it has become one of the most practical choices for company owners who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget.

In our experience, the most common businesses Singaporeans open through GoldenKey are in fintech, logistics, trading and technology, although RAKEZ supports almost any activity.
Why RAKEZ
Just as important, over 14,000 companies from 100+ countries. To be clear, popular activities in RAKEZ include trading, industrial, consultancy, services and manufacturing, and most of them can be combined on a single licence.
