Each RAK ICC (Formerly IBC) offshore company must have its Registered Agent. The appointment of the first Agent is done within the incorporation process of your Ras Al Khaimah company.
Once appointed, he becomes your UAE’s company’s authorized representative on all the matters related to the company administration such as its renewal, keeping and updating /changing records, etc. Thus the professional Registered Agent qualifications and service standards become highly important for the efficiency of company’s operations.
If you are fully satisfied with your exiting one, there, is no point to change it. However, you may also face some difficulties with your existing agent such as, for example:
- Non-provision to you of the timely notifications on your company renewal due dates.
- Ineffective and imprecise execution of the works related to your company’s administration – delays and errors in documents, etc.
- The missing level of support on various administration matters– legal issues, support on bank accounts operations, etc.
- Difficulties and delays in communication with the agent – written as well as over the phone.
- Overpriced services with no respective service quality being delivered.
There may also be the cases when Agents stop its business operations due to its license being withdrawn / stopped by the RAK regulatory authority. We need to note that lately there are a number of such cases as the RAK ICC registry is going over the revision of the list of the registered agents and withdrawing the licenses of some of them who do not duly comply with the latestRas Al Khaimah UAE registry requirements and regulations.
All the points above can become the reason for the change / appointment of the new company as the Registered Agent of your RAK ICC (formerly IBC) offshore company.
