RAKEZ — the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone — is one of the most cost-effective ways to hold a UAE company. You get the same 100% ownership and 0% personal tax as a Dubai zone, from around AED 6,000. It's a genuine favourite for SMEs, freelancers, traders and industrial businesses that want the UAE without the Dubai price tag.
RAKEZ is a large economic zone in Ras Al Khaimah, about an hour up the coast from Dubai. It runs business, industrial and academic parks under one authority, which is why it suits such a wide range of companies. It's usually the right choice if you're:
Need a Dubai address instead? If your brand benefits from a Dubai licence, compare Meydan and IFZA from around AED 12,500. If not, RAKEZ gives you the same ownership and tax benefits for less. We'll tell you honestly which one earns its cost.
