Business Licences

Business Licences

RAK FTZ offers four types of Business Licences:

  • Commercial Licence
  • General Trading Licence
  • Consultancy / Services Licence
  • Industrial Licence

Applicants should be aware of the following points when applying for a Business Licence:

  • Every company operating within RAK Free Trade Zone is required to obtain a Business Licence. A Business Licence (also known as a Trade Licence) is a time-limited permit granted to a company to undertake commercial, consulting or industrial activities within RAK FTZ.
  • Companies licensed by RAK Free Trade Zone are not authorised to do business in the UAE market - a local agent or distributor has to be specially appointed for carrying out business activities in the UAE market.
  • Each licence is valid for one year starting from the date of issue and must be renewed annually. Submission of audit reports is a mandatory requirement for Business Licence renewal.
  • All rates are subject to periodic revisions and the licensed companies will be informed of such revisions at the time of Business Licence renewal.
