Why RAKEZ is the Smart Choice for Business Setup in UAE
RAKEZ, also known as Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone, is one of the most popular and fastest growing free zones in the UAE. It is ideal for entrepreneurs, e-commerce sellers, traders and small business owners who want a flexible and affordable business setup.
RAKEZ offers global reach, full foreign ownership, simplified regulations and highly competitive pricing. With its strategic location and strong support system, it is the perfect launchpad for your business in 2025.
What You Get in the RAKEZ AED 12,500 Package?
This setup package is designed to give you everything you need to operate legally and confidently in the UAE. Here is what is included:
- General Trading License
- Free E Commerce License (only with General Trading selection)
- One lifetime UAE residency visa
- Flexi desk workspace
- Health insurance included
- All legal documentation and setup
- Annual renewal fee of AED 12,500 only
- Medical test and biometrics required every two years
This package provides full setup, a commercial address and long term residency. It is ideal for anyone launching a trading or online business.
General Trading License with Free E Commerce License
The General Trading License gives you the ability to import, export, distribute and store a wide range of goods. It is a broad category that allows you to deal in multiple products under one license.
When you choose General Trading as your activity, you also get an E Commerce License at no extra cost. This means you can run both a physical and online business using the same setup. You can sell through your website or on platforms like Amazon and Noon.
This combination is especially useful for those who want flexibility across different sales channels.
Who Should Consider This Package?
This RAKEZ offer is perfect for:
- New entrepreneurs looking for a low cost business setup in Dubai or anywhere in the UAE
- E commerce sellers wanting to expand their operations legally
- Traders and import export professionals
- Freelancers and consultants who want a residency visa and license
- Small business owners shifting from more expensive free zones
- Foreign investors interested in UAE market entry
Breakdown of Savings Compared to Other Free Zones
In most free zones across the UAE, a General Trading License alone costs between AED 15,000 and AED 25,000. Add a visa, e-commerce activity, office space and insurance, and you could easily pay AED 30,000 or more.
Here is how RAKEZ compares:
| Service Included | Market Rate Value | RAKEZ Package Offer |
| General Trading License | AED 15,000 to AED 20,000 | Included |
| E Commerce License | AED 5,000 to AED 7,000 | Included |
| Residency Visa | AED 4,000 to AED 6,000 | Included |
| Flexi Desk Office Space | AED 5,000 | Included |
| Insurance | AED 1,500 | Included |
| Total Market Value | AED 30,000 to AED 40,000 | AED 12,500 Only |
This package gives you savings of up to AED 25,000 with no compromise on licensing, compliance or benefits.
What is a Flexi Desk and Why Does It Matters?
A Flexi Desk gives you a legal business address, access to shared workspace and meeting rooms, and the ability to apply for visas. It also satisfies the address requirement for your license. This is a cost efficient option compared to renting a full office.
RAKEZ offers modern Flexi Desk facilities with everything you need to operate professionally and stay compliant.
What About Visa Renewals and Maintenance?
The residency visa included in this package is lifetime valid, meaning you do not have to pay for visa issuance again. However, you will need to renew the business license annually for AED 12,500.
Medical test and biometric fees for your visa will be applicable every two years, as required under UAE law.
