Choose the right structure
Offshore structure or operating company?
The answer depends on your visa, staffing, office and UAE operating requirements.
Standard RAK ICC Company
Primarily designed for international business, investment and holding purposes rather than direct local UAE commercial operations.
- Should not be selected solely to obtain residence visas
- No traditional operational office is normally required
- Additional licensing may be needed for UAE operations
- Certain regulated financial activities are restricted
When an Operating Structure Fits Better
If you need UAE residence visas, employees, office facilities or operating activity inside the UAE, Nexo can compare suitable alternatives.
- RAKEZ operating company
- RAK ICC Global Product or combined structure
- Another UAE Free Zone company
- Mainland licensing where the activity requires it
