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.
- Entity structure, licensing and regulatory approvals
- A full financial model: investment, breakeven, return, and pricing built for this market
- Product and regulatory compliance, so what you sell can legally be sold here
- Commercial real estate and office fit-out
- Hiring, with local market HR expertise
- Manufacturing, logistics and supply chain
- Brand localisation and go-to-market
- The operating model, and the people to run it once you are live
We are not interested in launching a business here that will not make money here.
If the model says it will not, we would rather tell you before you spend the money than after.
