Yes, and it's one of RAKEZ's biggest strengths. RAKEZ offers genuine industrial infrastructure that city-centre zones can't match: pre-built warehouses, land plots for lease, and dedicated industrial precincts, all under an industrial licence.
Rental costs run significantly lower than Dubai, and the zone sits close to RAK Ports and national highways for import and export. It suits manufacturing, packaging, processing, and heavy industry. We can structure the licence and secure the right facility for your production needs.
RAKEZ Global Product (RGP) is a ""midshore"" company structure. It lets international entrepreneurs set up a new company, or migrate an existing overseas company, through an approved corporate service provider, without needing a UAE residence visa or physical office.
A regular free zone licence is built for operating with a UAE presence: issuing visas, leasing space, and running a local team. RGP is leaner, aimed at holding structures and international business where you want UAE credibility without the visa and office layer. We can advise which fits your goals."

No physical office is required for up to three visas. A flexi-desk or shared workstation satisfies the requirement, which keeps your setup lean and low-cost. A private office or larger space becomes necessary only when your visa count grows beyond that.
This is one of the reasons RAKEZ is popular with startups and solo founders. We can match your workspace to your visa needs and leave room to scale.
Yes. A RAKEZ freelancer permit lets independent professionals in fields like media, IT, education, and consulting operate legally under their own name, and it comes with UAE residence visa eligibility. A freelance package including a visa typically costs around AED 17,000.
Once your residence visa is active, you can also open a bank account and sponsor dependents. We handle the permit and visa together so you're set up in one smooth process.
RAKEZ is in Ras Al Khaimah, roughly 45 minutes to an hour from Dubai by road via the E311 highway. It's also close to RAK International Airport and Saqr Port, with direct connectivity to GCC, Asian, and African markets.
For day-to-day convenience, RAKEZ operates regional offices, including in Dubai, so much of the paperwork doesn't require the drive north. We can manage the process for you from our Dubai office.
The BusinessWomen package is a subsidised setup designed exclusively for female entrepreneurs, starting from around AED 6,000. To qualify, the company must be 100 percent women-owned, and it applies to new clients choosing a shared workstation or office with a free zone licence.
Benefits include discounted rates, flexible installment payment plans, free use of shared workstations, complimentary business cards, priority service, a zero-balance bank account option, and UAE residence visa eligibility. Eight licence types are available. We can set it up and confirm you meet the criteria.
Yes. RAKEZ lets you group multiple activities under one licence, and a general trading licence in particular covers trading across many unrelated product categories. Combining activities from different sectors is often possible, depending on the licence type and compatibility.
Choosing the right licence and activity mix upfront saves on later amendments. We can map your activities to the most cost-effective licence structure for your plans.
Yes. RAKEZ organises its ecosystem into specialised zones. Al Hamra Business Zone serves commercial and professional firms, Al Nakheel Business Zone suits SMEs and freelancers, and Al Hulaila and Al Ghail Industrial Zones are built for manufacturing and heavier industry, with land plots and warehouse facilities. There's also a dedicated academic zone.
This lets you locate your business alongside the right infrastructure and neighbours for your sector. We can help you choose the zone that fits your activity and growth plans.
