Struggling to find the perfect office space for your RAKEZ company? Let us help you out.

When setting up your RAKEZ company, you need to lease office space. But don't worry, you have different options to choose from that suit your needs and budget.

The first thing to consider is how many visas you need for your company. Different office options come with a set number of visas. Besides that, think about things like space, flexibility, privacy, and extra facilities. The type of office you can get depends on your company's license. Here are the office options available for your RAKEZ company:

Affordable workstations for startups and freelancers. They're great if you don't need many visas. You can choose between "Flexi Desk BC" (no visas) or "Flexi Desk" (one visa). Suitable for companies with commercial, services, and freelancer permits.

 Shared office spaces in a big co-working environment. You can get up to two visas. You also have access to meeting rooms, event spaces, and cafes. Ideal for freelancers or companies with commercial or service licenses.

Dedicated workspaces for small companies. Your staff will have their own office space but share the room with other companies. You can get up to four visas. Suitable for companies with commercial, services, educational, e-commerce, general trading, professional, and media licenses.
