CEO's Foreword
Greetings,
Welcome to Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone (RAK FTZ) – The Home of Business!
In the last 11 years, RAK FTZ has come a long way – each year moving one more step towards excellence and the pinnacle of success. Thanks to the commitment, efforts and unstinted perseverance of everyone associated with the free zone, we have consistently earned the trust of our valued consumers and the respect of the industry.
Our transparent and investment-friendly laws and regulations, no restrictions on profit and capital repatriation, aggressive participation in events across the globe, strategic location, and most importantly the support and guidance of Ras Al Khaimah’s leaders, all have played a critical role in our success over the past 11 years. These advantages helped in attracting investors and entrepreneurs looking for cost-effective, hassle-free and secure options for setting up a business in the UAE.
As of today, RAK FTZ has grown to become one of the leading free zones in the Middle East, building on its commitments to professionalism, integrity and service to the community of which it is a part. We have been able to consolidate its importance locally and internationally and have over 5,000 companies as its members across various fields and economic activities a total of more than 2,000 companies registering in 2011 alone, an increase of 16% over 2010.
True to our vision, we promise only what we can deliver. With ‘People Focus’ as one of our driving forces, we at RAK FTZ have continued to deliver a vast array of benefits to our business partners and associates. The recognition, the awards and the special industry accolades to RAK FTZ continue to help us raise the bar in our success march. Given the commitment that we have consistently demonstrated, we will surely better our track record each time and every time.
The real impetus for our success has been the sense of ownership that we all have developed together. As the famous English writer and poet James Allen had famously stated: “For true success, ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?”
On behalf of everyone at RAK FTZ, I would like to thank you for logging into this website. If you have any suggestions on how we can create an even better experience, or if you have any comments, please feel free to pen down your thoughts, observations or experience to us.
All the best in all your endeavours!
With best regards,
Oussama El Omari
Chief Executive Officer
