BENEFITS OF HAVING AN INDUSTRIAL LICENSE IN RAKEZ

• Business parks and designated industrial zones – RAKEZ concentrates on attracting additional interest from business investors operating globally. The zone has taken a number of measures, one of which is the creation of segmented portions or zones devoted to the operations of relevant industries, such as manufacturing, trading, and services, among others.
• Low Setup Cost – Businesses can benefit from RAKEZ’s unique cost-saving alternatives when setting up a business there. Low, medium, and large-sized warehouses are offered for use by various businesses, depending on the operations carried out.
