RAKEZ, RAK free zone and your business plans

RAKEZ stands for Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone. If you are searching for “RAK freezone” or “Ras Al Khaimah free zone business setup”, we can help you understand the RAKEZ options relevant to your proposed business. Our team is based in Ras Al Khaimah and supports founders planning their UAE company from abroad as well as those already in the UAE.

Rasif Accountants provides business setup and advisory support. RAKEZ is the licensing authority, and licence applications are subject to its requirements and approval.

How we help with RAKEZ company formation

  • Discuss your business activities, customers and ownership plans.
  • Compare suitable licence, workspace and visa options.
  • Explain the proposed setup scope and itemised costs before you proceed.
  • Prepare and coordinate company formation applications and supporting documents.
  • Assist with bank account application documentation.
  • Provide accounting, tax and renewal support after incorporation.

How the RAKEZ company setup process works

  1. Choose the right package: confirm your business activity, legal form, licence type, workspace and visa needs.
  2. Prepare and submit the application: complete the required forms and supporting documents for RAKEZ review.
  3. Complete licensing formalities: after approval and the required formalities, RAKEZ issues the company licence. Visa applications can then proceed where applicable.
  4. Organise your new company: arrange banking documentation, bookkeeping and the tax support appropriate to your business.

Rasif coordinates the agreed setup work and explains the next steps. Timing depends on your application and any additional approvals.

Documents to prepare for a RAKEZ application

  • Colour passport scans for the owners and appointed manager or director, as applicable.
  • UAE visa or entry-stamp copies and Emirates ID copies where applicable.
  • Application forms and ownership information, including the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) declaration.
  • For a corporate shareholder or branch, the relevant company registration records, constitutional documents and board resolution.

Some activities require a business plan, and a no-objection certificate may be required for UAE residents. The final checklist depends on the legal form, owners and activity. We confirm it against the official RAKEZ document checklist before submission.

Free setup consultation for overseas entrepreneurs

You can begin the discussion before travelling to the UAE. Share your intended business activity, current country of residence, number of owners, visa requirements and preferred start date. We will discuss the available routes and outline the next steps for your circumstances.

Your initial consultation is free. Company formation work, government fees and other services are quoted separately. Any in-person requirements, processing times and approvals will depend on the selected route and the relevant authority or bank.

Plan your free business setup consultation

A clear brief helps us recommend a suitable route and prepare a useful quotation. Before your consultation, work through these four steps:

  1. Describe your business: explain what you will sell, who your customers are and where you expect to operate.
  2. List the people involved: tell us the number of owners, their countries of residence and how many UAE visas you expect to need.
  3. Outline your workspace needs: explain whether your activity involves an office, storage, trading stock or industrial premises.
  4. Set your budget and timing: share your planned start date and the amount you have allocated for setup and ongoing costs.

What to compare in your setup quotation

Ask us to distinguish the initial setup costs from recurring costs, and identify which items apply to your proposed company:

  • Licence and registration charges, plus the expected renewal basis.
  • Workspace or premises costs for the selected package.
  • Visa and related application charges for the people included.
  • Our business setup service fees and the scope of assistance.
  • Accounting, tax and other ongoing support you choose to include.

Bring another proposal to your consultation if you would like help comparing its scope. We can identify what is included, what needs clarification and which costs depend on your final requirements.

Accounting and tax support after setup

Keep your company organised from the start with accounting and bookkeeping, financial reporting, Corporate Tax support and VAT support. We can also help with licence renewals and relevant ownership documentation. Where an external audit is needed, we prepare the records and coordinate with independent licensed audit partners.

RAKEZ business setup questions

Does a RAKEZ licence automatically mean 0% Corporate Tax?

No. A free-zone licence alone does not establish eligibility for 0% Corporate Tax. The 0% free-zone rate applies to Qualifying Income of a Qualifying Free Zone Person that meets the applicable conditions. We can review your proposed activities and income with our Corporate Tax team before you choose your setup.

Can I start the consultation from outside the UAE?

Yes. Contact Rasif Accountants online to discuss your plans and documents. We will explain which steps can be coordinated remotely and identify any attendance requirements for your chosen setup.

What does RAKEZ company setup cost?

The quotation depends on your business activities, licence, premises, owners and visa needs. Ask for an itemised proposal so you can compare government charges, our service fees and any additional costs.

What should I prepare for the free consultation?

Start with a short description of your activity, the owners involved, your intended customers, visa needs and budget. We will then outline the documents needed for the proposed application.

Can you compare RAKEZ with other UAE free zones?

Yes. We can discuss other UAE free zone options and mainland business setup where relevant to your activities and plans.

Is Rasif Accountants the RAKEZ licensing authority?

No. Rasif Accountants FZ-LLC provides company setup and advisory support. RAKEZ is the licensing authority and decides licence applications. We help you assess suitable options, prepare documents and coordinate the agreed setup work.

What happens after my free consultation?

We clarify the proposed activities, owners, workspace and visa requirements, then outline the documents and provide an itemised scope and quotation. Application work starts after you agree to the engagement. Licensing, immigration and bank decisions remain with the relevant authorities and institutions.
