RAG Global Business Hub

What RAG Global Business Hub does

RAG Global Business Hub, operating under the trade name RAG Holdings and legally registered as RAG Corporate Business Services LLC, is a Dubai-headquartered business setup and consulting firm founded around 2013-2014 and led by Founder and CEO Rassal Ahmed, with Director-General Sheikh Mubarak al-Thani overseeing the Qatar operations. The company helps entrepreneurs, startups, SMEs, multinational corporations, high-net-worth individuals, and family businesses establish and operate companies across the UAE, Qatar, Singapore, and India through a wholly-owned ecosystem of regional entities (RAG Dubai, RAG Qatar, RAG Singapore) and product brands (RAG Biz HQ, RAG Tower, RAG Club, RAG Idea HQ). In January 2026, the Qatar entity was officially classified among the "Big Five" consulting firms in Qatar under the Qatar Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

The product portfolio is service-based rather than technology-based — there is no proprietary software platform — and spans company formation across mainland, free zone, and offshore UAE jurisdictions, licensing (Mainland, Free Zone including DIFC, DWTC, DMCC, ADGM, Offshore), corporate services (PRO services, accounting and bookkeeping, compliance management, HR and payroll, visa processing), Golden Visa and immigration assistance, market research and feasibility studies, intellectual property services (trademark, product, and package registration), and workspace solutions (flexi offices, closed flexi, private offices, co-working, shared office). The firm operates approximately 350,000 sq.ft of managed workspace across multiple Dubai business centers.

Revenue is generated from three mechanics: one-time and project-based professional services fees for setup and licensing, recurring retainer-style corporate services, and subscription-style recurring monthly rental income from workspace contracts. The firm employs a consultative, enterprise field sales motion heavily supplemented by event-driven demand generation through flagship events (RAG Global Meet, RAG Global Conclave, RAG Club Meet chapters) and exhibition participation at Project Qatar and GITEX Global. Customer segments are primarily entrepreneurs and SMEs, with the firm claiming 500+ corporate clients served across 35+ countries and 10+ years of operating experience.
