Frequently Asked Questions

View All FAQ

What types of companies do they accommodate?

RAKEZ accommodates three types of company form, which are:
• Free Zone Limited Liability Company (FZ-LLC)
• Branch of a UAE-based company (including companies registered in other free zones)
• Branch of a foreign company

Is it required to have a local partner to form a company in the Free Zone?

No, one of the benefits of incorporating a company in the Free Zone is that it offers 100% foreign ownership, so you won't be needing a local partner to form a company.

When we decided five years ago to start our business in Dubai, we approached IBG Consulting for our business license and other documents. From day one, we appreciate how they interacted and exerted efforts for us, each with a smile on their faces, until we finish the whole legal process. All necessary documents were processed within the timeframe.
We can say that we have a good working relationship with IBG Consulting, and will remain as it is in the future. They are all very supportive and prompt in their services. They gave us the best solutions and treated us with respect. We wish them good luck and we look forward to more corporate services available from their agency.
