RAK Company Incorporation – Establishment Procedures

The 5 Stages of the RAK Company Formation Process

FBS EMIRATES are up-to date with ALL new laws and regulations and with our help you can cut through the whole process quite easily with minimum involvement on your side.

Below is a brief outline of the Main Company Formation Stages in RAK, UAE.

1. Initial Consulting

It is valuable that FBS EMIRATES provides free initial advice on UAE Business Set Up. This is so as you DO need Our Services since there are many different options for company formation and complex residency and labour and immigration regulations as well as complex processes, red tape and requirements.

2. Documents – Licensing – Formation

Once all the necessary documents have been obtained from you and certified, the incorporation process starts.  The Company, at the completion of this stage is Legally Formed and Licensed and Ready to Operate.

3. Bank Account

Bank Account Opening in RAK comes next. A very important stage as RAK Companies with no bank account are considered by Tax Authorities and market counter-parties as Companies without economic substance in most cases and therefore not useful or practical. In our capacity of Official Professional Introducer with many banks in RAK and internationally you can rest assured the account opening will be fast and quite smooth. We will handle the process and guide you through the documentation requirements.

4. UAE Visas

Immigration Residence Visas and Emirates ID is then obtained for you, your family and your staff. All details and actions required will be handled efficiently. Generally the medical examination takes a maximum of 5 working days, although this can faster with an urgent medical application.

5. Establishment and Set-Up

The next stage, with our support, involves setting up the corporate image (business – office address, telephone answering, logo, business cards, and website) as well as substance (premises, telephone, utilities, virtual office, staff, business plan). We can discuss what is appropriate for your case.
