Company Setup with RAK ICC in Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah · Mainland
Ras Al Khaimah International Corporate Centre — the emirate offshore registry (distinct from RAKEZ, which is the free zone).
A RAK ICC offshore company for holding assets and international business
RAK ICC is the offshore registry of Ras Al Khaimah. This is the vehicle international investors use to hold assets, own shares in other companies, and invoice clients outside the UAE, all through a clean, recognised UAE structure. It is a legal entity, not a trading licence. There is no physical office and no residence visa. It is built for holding and cross-border work rather than selling inside the UAE market.
We have set up 1,400+ companies over 19+ years. We handle a RAK ICC formation end to end, including structuring, incorporation, documents and the bank introductions that follow. Tell us what the company is for and we will price it in one call.
What it costs and how long it takes
You will get an exact, itemised price in one free call, with government fees and our service fee broken down before you commit.
On timelines, offshore incorporations typically complete in 3 to 5 working days once your documents are submitted. Authority schedules vary, so we confirm a realistic date with you at the start.
What you will need
For a standard offshore incorporation, expect:
- Passport copies for all shareholders and directors
- Proof of address for each individual
- A brief company profile and the intended activity
- An ownership structure chart where there are corporate shareholders
We confirm the exact list for your specific structure up front. Offshore files attract closer scrutiny, so getting them right the first time saves weeks.
Banking after incorporation
An offshore company can open a UAE bank account, but banks apply heavier due diligence to offshore entities, and approval always rests with the bank. Our edge is real. We have named account-opening officers at 10+ UAE banks and 1,000+ accounts opened. We prepare the application, brief you on exactly what each compliance team will ask, and manage it through. See bank account opening for details.
If a UAE residence visa or trading inside the UAE turns out to matter to you, we also handle free zone and mainland formations. We will recommend the right route in the call.
