Therefore, renting office space is essential for your RAKEZ business. Before deciding on an office that is both appropriate for your RAKEZ business and does not break the bank, you can scan and analyze a number of office possibilities.

Each office choice is allotted a specific amount of fixed visas. Therefore, the amount of visas that a person hopes to receive for their RAKEZ firm should be the primary consideration while choosing an office space. Once this is established, considerations including room, adaptability, seclusion, and other amenities should be made. Additionally, keep in mind that not all office options are accessible for all licensing types and that the type of office space depends on the type of RAKEZ firm license. To make it easier for you to decide, we’ve sorted the many office options below into categories so you can establish the perfect office for your RAKEZ business:

Flexi Office:

A shared office within a sizable co-working environment is called a felxi office. If you choose to set up a flexible office for your RAKEZ company, you will be assigned up to two (2) visas. Additionally, access to amenities including cafes, event venues, and meeting rooms is granted. A flexi office also comes with free locker use, limitless access to open workspace, and free admission to events sponsored by RAKEZ. Only freelancers or businesses holding a commercial or service trade license in Dubai are served by flexi offices.

Serviced Office:

An appropriate choice for small businesses wishing to rent a specific area for their employees to work. An enclosed office with a designated workspace will be provided for your personnel. They and other like-minded businesses will be using the same space. There are a maximum of four (4) visa allocations for a serviced office. Serviced offices are divided into “Serviced Office A” and “Serviced Office B” categories based on the size of the office and the distribution of visas. A maximum of two (2) visas can be assigned to “Serviced Office A,” and a maximum of four (4) visas can be assigned to “Serviced Office B.” Additionally, you receive a dedicated signboard at the office door with the name of your RAKEZ company. Businesses with licenses for commercial, services, educational, e-commerce, general trading, professional, and media may choose to use serviced offices.

Executive Office: Select an executive office if you need more room for your employees and clients, a private office in a developed building, and up to six visas.

There are advantages to being a woman in a Middle Eastern nation like the United Arab Emirates. Women now have every advantage at their fingertips thanks to the advancement of gender equality. Through the establishment of successful enterprises, women in the UAE have succeeded in realizing their aspirations of becoming female entrepreneurs.

The Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone, or RAKEZ, made a commitment to advance women’s empowerment in August 2019 when they unveiled a unique package for businesswomen. It’s interesting that these packages were introduced by RAK EZ on Emirati Women’s Day. The specially crafted packages include special offers for women who wish to start their own firm and elevate their status in the business world. The packages for women enable the development of businesses at discounted prices and in payments.

All the advantages of forming a RAKEZ firm are included in the businesswomen packages. The following advantages are available to women who establish businesses through the businesswomen packages:

1. Company Set-up at a Low Cost

With RAKEZ, women may launch their own business for a very reasonable price, starting at AED 6,280. Women are also entitled to three (3) months of unlimited use of an office desk under these packages. Other free zones typically have restricted utilization of flex desks.

2. Pay in Instalments

The fact that women may pay for the business setup in installments and at their convenience is another fantastic advantage of these packages. RAKEZ offers a number of payment plans with installments beginning after three (3) months.

3. Zero Balance Bank Account Exclusively for the RAKEZ Businesswomen Package

This promotion is limited to ladies solely at RAKEZ. From the standpoint of a businesswoman, this is a big advantage. Women can obtain a zero-balance business account with RAK Bank for their enterprise. There are various currency denominations available for opening the bank account. Without having to go through the trouble of repeatedly asking a bank for approvals, this account can be opened.

4. Priority Ticket at One Stop Shop (OSS) Centers of RAKEZ

While patience is a virtue in and of itself, you cannot turn down the opportunity to receive a priority ticket at a RAKEZ one-stop shop. Women’s demands for services are given top priority. Once more, only owners of businesses established under the RAKEZ businesswomen package are eligible for this benefit.

5. Business Card Printing Free of Charge

Women will benefit from free business card printing (in whatever design they choose!), depending on the exact pack they choose from the businesswomen packages.

By now, we are aware that the advantages of the businesswomen package have left you feeling pretty pleased. What you should also know in order to use the businesswomen packages to start a corporation is as follows:

1. Only new clients choosing to use a free zone license for shared workstations or office space are eligible for packages.

2. Only if a company is owned entirely by women can it be founded under these packages. It is necessary for women to possess 100% of the business.

3. The following license categories are available to women for their RAKEZ business:

Commercial license
Educational license
E-commerce license
Media license
Professional license
General trading license
Services license

4. Upgrades and downgrades are possible for packages as long as eligibility is maintained.

5. The second year’s renewal fee would be AED 1,000 less than the initial setup costs for the business.

6. With their RAKEZ company, female entrepreneurs are eligible for zero to six (0 to 6) visas.

7.Women would want to rent a variety of office locations for their RAKEZ business. There are the following choices.

Flexi Desk
Flexi Office
Service Office
Executive Office
