Is it a good time to expand your UK company to Dubai? How prepared are you to take your UK firm to a new market? Is there a demand for your product and services outside if the UK?
Over the last four decades Dubai has evolved from a local business community into one of the most innovative and successful business hubs in the world.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) economy has diversified its economy away from oil. Non-oil sectors contribute 70% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). After Saudi Arabia, the UAE is second largest economy in the region.
Currently there are 5000+ British companies operating in the UAE. Some of the household names you may recognise are:
- BP
- Shell
- Rolls Royce
- HSBC
- Fortum and Mason
- SERCO
- Standard Chartered and much more.
UAE’s population is made up of expatriates and it continuously manages to attract British investors due to its lifestyle appeal and investment incentives.
