Why Choose RAK FTZ?
Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone (RAK FTZ) offers a gateway to emerging markets with over 8,000 registered companies from 106 countries and 50 industry sectors. One of the fastest-growing free trade zones in the UAE, the RAK FTZ is 100% tax-free, allows 100% foreign ownership, and provides award-winning service to its clients.
The costs of living and doing business in Ras Al Khaimah are markedly lower than in other emirates, and far below those of traditional business centres such as London, New York, Hong Kong and Mumbai, allowing for a potentially greater return on investments.
Named one of the top five free zones in the Middle East, the RAK FTZ has four unique free zone parks that will suit every investor according to their specific requirements. They include a Business Park, an Industrial Park, and Technology.
Along with providing commercial, general trading, consultancy, industrial, and academic licences, registering legal entities, and offering competitive and tailored offices, warehouses and land, the RAK FTZ also provides value-added services such as advertising, procurement, event management, recruitment and training assistance.
Headquartered in Ras Al Khaimah, the RAK FTZ has business centres in Ras Al Khaimah, as well as promotion centres in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The RAK FTZ is also active in three continents, with liaison offices in Turkey, India and Germany, giving it international reach and scope.
