Ras Al Khaimah Free Zone Company Setup

Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) situated at the prime location in the emirate offers great growth potential to business entities. This has become the motivating factor for ex-pats and residents to establish a business here. The influx of business enthusiasts continues, making it one of the emerging business destinations in the country. 

RAKEZ has a plethora of options and supportive policies for setting up a fruitful business. The expatriates can hold 100% ownership in the company. It has one of the best warehousing facilities in the country. Moreover, the warehouse can be custom-tailored based on the requirement of the company. You can choose from accommodations for labourers and employees or decide to build one of your own. The authorities have made sure that the businesses will not encounter any kind of problem, whatsoever, during RAK Free Zone Company Formation. 

The other favourable aspect is that a physical office is not compulsory for starting the business. You can opt for a Flexi-desk or smart office. Thus, the additional expense can be avoided during the initial process. An office could be set up subsequently, solely on your decision. Four types of companies are permissible in the region, i.e. Free Zone Company (FZC), Free Zone Establishment (FZE), a branch office of a foreign entity, or a branch office of a resident company.
