UAE Market Entry.
From licence to a functioning, properly priced operation.
Priced on the entity structure, whether the products need regulatory approval, and how much of the operation we build rather than advise on.
A plan built on twelve even months will miss badly.
Most businesses arrive with a home-market forecast. This market does not trade that way.
A flat forecast assumes every month behaves the same way. Press the toggle to see what the year actually looks like, and what it does to a plan built elsewhere.
There are hundreds of company formation experts in Dubai who will get you a licence and sometimes a bank account. We support all of that, but the licence is where we start rather than where we stop.
Before anything else we build a financial model with you: every assumption priced in, the investment required, the breakeven point and the expected return.
This is where most international businesses go wrong. They price for this market using home-market assumptions and end up busy but unprofitable.

We are not interested in launching a business in the UAE which will fail.
If after assessment, we feel your business will fail here, we will tell you to save your money and not enter this market or most of the time we will show you how you can make it work.
