WhatsApp quoteRAKEZ combines competitive pricing with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. 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 business owners who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. Swedish companies use the UAE as a regional base for the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, which gives Swedish entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their RAKEZ licence is granted. As a rule, the most common businesses Swedes open through GoldenKey are in technology, telecom, design and sustainability, although RAKEZ supports almost any activity.
Why RAKEZ
One of the reasons our advice is to choose RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most company owners realise once the business is running. As we tell every client, popular activities in RAKEZ include trading, industrial, consultancy, services and manufacturing, and most of them can be combined on a single licence.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an FZE and an FZCO in RAKEZ?
An FZE has one shareholder and an FZCO has two or more. Both offer limited liability and 100% foreign ownership, and the fees in RAKEZ are usually the same.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in RAKEZ?
Most RAKEZ licences can be issued remotely with scanned documents and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residence visa is processed.
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.
Can a Swedish citizen own 100% of a company in RAKEZ?
It can. Swedes can own the full share capital of a RAKEZ company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Swedes need a UAE visa before applying for RAKEZ?
No. You can apply for the licence from Sweden with scanned paperwork, and the investor residency visa is processed afterwards.
