Education & Training in the UAE for British nationals

Training centres, tutoring, corporate training, e-learning and vocational institutes

If you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, RAKEZ deserves a close look for its competitive pricing and routine renewal process. As a rule, 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. Crucially, the most common businesses British nationals open through GoldenKey are in consulting, financial services, real estate and education, although RAKEZ supports almost any activity. As we tell every client, education & Training in RAKEZ means training centres, tutoring, corporate training, e-learning and vocational institutes, and it is licensed as a professional activity.

Why RAKEZ

Just as important, one of the reasons we recommend RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most company owners realise once the business is running. 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.
