Why Ras al-Khaimah (RAK) companies are the most popular?
If your business activity is not base in UAE, you don’t plan to buy real estate in UAE, inquire for residence permit, make deals with local UAE companies, then having a company in Ras al-Khaimah is the optimal decision, as the costs are much lower than for onshore UAE and there are nor requirements for financial reports, audit and share capital.
RAK company is a pure offshore, tax haven entity. A lot of registered agents would quote the word “OFFSHORE” in the company name, however, other licensed registered agents are not obliged to register the name of your company with the ending “OFFSHORE”.
Keep in mind that, Offshore company in RAK cannot make deals with local and onshore UAE companies. On the other hand, RAK company is allowed to make deals with another RAK company.
NB! If you plan to open an EU bank account for RAK Offshore, we recommend to ask your bank if they accept companies registered in Ras al-Khaimah. If not, you would need to consider an onshore UAE company.
