Why choose this jurisdiction when starting a business?
Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) Free Trade Zone is one of the emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The emirate is situated in the east of the Persian Gulf and is the northernmost emirate of the UAE.

In January 2007, the RAK Investment Authority (RAKIA) launched the international business company concept. There are no restrictions on the number of shareholders or directors of an international business company. Shareholders and directors are not obliged to hold an annual meeting or to file audited accounts. The International Business Companies (IBC) Registry displays only the name of the company and the date of incorporation.

International business companies are not authorised to conduct business activities in Ras Al Khaimah with the exception of accounting, audit, legal and banking activities. International business companies cannot employ staff locally.

Ras Al Khaimah has become a true trading and industrial hub with an economy that continues to expand and thrive.

To incorporate a RAK offshore company in this Emirate your personal presence is not required, which also adds to the efficiency to RAK ICC company registration.
