Free zones · Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) was established in 2017 by the Government of Ras Al Khaimah under the vision of His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, uniting the legacy of RAK Free Trade Zone and the RAK Investment Authority. A powerhouse business and industrial hub, RAKEZ is home to more than 50,000 companies from over 100 countries, spanning freelancers and startups through heavy industry across its specialized industrial, business and academic zones, positioned as a gateway between the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia.
Freelancers, startups and SMEs through heavy industry: one of the broadest business communities in the UAE.
What your RAKEZ setup costs depends on what your business does, who needs a visa and how you want to start. So instead of a one-size number, the Founder’s Copilot builds your exact setup and shows every dirham on its own line, licence, government fees and our fee, before you speak to anyone.
Describe your business in your own words. The Founder’s Copilot finds the licensed activities behind it and prices your setup line by line, with nothing hidden. When a zone feels right, everything is confirmed in writing before engagement, and your Company Hub tracks the whole journey from application to licence.
RAKEZ is one of ten zones the Copilot prices in real time. If it fits your business, you’ll see exactly why. If another zone fits better, you’ll see that too.
Zone details evolve. Anything that affects your setup is confirmed in writing before engagement.
