GuideIn the Middle East sea boom, Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) has become a popular choice for business registration due to its flexible policies and controllable costs. Among its many advantages, the capital threshold for company registration is particularly striking-the minimum registered capital requirement without paid-in and multi-currency options provide a low-cost access path for start-ups and small multinational companies.

statutory registered capital

1. Statutory minimum standards:

according to the RAK Authority, the registered capital of a limited liability company (LLC) is set at 50000 dirhams by default, but this figure is only a nominal reference value and does not need to be actually paid at the time of registration. This policy significantly reduces the financial pressure in the early stages of entrepreneurship, especially for technology, trade and service-oriented enterprises that operate with light assets.

2, industry differentiation adjustment:

although 50000 dirhams is the general standard, specific industries may require higher registered capital due to the nature of the business.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOA) states that:

regardless of the amount of registered capital, it needs to be clearly listed in the articles of association to ensure transparency of the capital structure. This requirement serves more for legal compliance than for the payment of funds.

Currency Choice Flexibility

ras Al Khaimah offers a dual choice in the use of currency, further reducing the cost of capital management for multinational enterprises:

the local currency is parallel to the US dollar: the registered capital can be freely priced in UAE Dirham (AED) or US Dollar (USD) without additional approval. This policy simplifies cross-border financial flows and is particularly suitable for international trading enterprises that settle in US dollars.

Other foreign currency approval mechanisms: If an enterprise wishes to use non-mainstream currencies such as Euros and Sterling, it is required to submit an application to the RAK Authority in advance and obtain approval. Although the process is slightly more complex, this mechanism still reflects the inclusiveness of Khaimah Ras for diversified currency needs.

Important Considerations and Considerations

1. Limitation of business scope:

free Zone companies cannot sell directly to the UAE mainland market (through a local agent), as is common in all Free Zones.

2, bank account opening:

low threshold registration does not mean that opening a bank account is easy. No matter where, the bank will strictly review the business substance, the source of funds, and the requirements for account opening documents are high. Ras Al Khaimah's banking policy is relatively pragmatic, but processes are indispensable.

3. Choose a reliable agent:

registration must be carried out through an officially authorized agent. Choosing an experienced and well-known agent can avoid subsequent troubles.
