Premium Package FAQs
Why does the Premium Package include an offshore holding company?
An offshore holding company (RAK ICC) provides asset protection, IP holding, and a clean structure for receiving dividends and managing accumulated profits. Holding profits offshore allows reinvestment without personal tax exposure in most jurisdictions. It also protects operating company assets from business liabilities.
Can the offshore RAK ICC hold real estate or investments?
Yes. RAK ICC companies can hold UAE real estate, investments, bank accounts, IP rights, and shares in other entities. They are widely used for structuring UAE property purchases and international investment portfolios.
What international banks are introduced in the Premium Package?
Arab First introduces clients to banking partners in jurisdictions such as Georgia, Singapore, and European EMI providers depending on the client's nationality, business activity, and banking requirements. The specific institution is matched after an introductory assessment.
Are the 5 visas investor or employee visas?
The standard split is 2 investor visas (for shareholders in the freezone company) and 3 employee visas. The split can be adjusted based on your team structure. All 5 include entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, and residence stamping.
Is annual compliance included after Year 1?
The Premium Package includes the first year of registered agent services for the RAK ICC and the compliance calendar setup. Annual renewals for both entities (trade license + RAK ICC) are handled by Arab First at transparent renewal rates.
