Combining activities on one licence

In short, ras Al Khaimah lets you list several related activities on one licence, which is the right approach for most businesses. Unrelated lines — trading and consultancy, for example — may need a general trading licence or a second licence, and GoldenKey tells you which before you commit.

Activities that need extra approval

Healthcare, education, legal consultancy, financial services and food require approvals from regulators outside Ras Al Khaimah. GoldenKey identifies these at the first consultation so the timeline and cost in your quotation already include them.

Why the UAE

As we tell every client, residence visas for owners and families come with the company, which makes activities on the mainland in Ras Al Khaimah a route to relocation as well as a business decision. The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for activities on the mainland in Ras Al Khaimah and makes international pricing simple.
