Dear David,

Dubai is goot for business but you have to get ready and you can present your business to others,as you know a lot of people already tried that before you,what i mean that you must bring a new type of business with you and also you can get all information here in Dubai chamber of commerce www.dubaichamber.ae/.Please do not hesitate if you need any other clarification.

I am sorry, as I am not a businessman in Dubai, i have limited knowledge. But I know that, to start a business as a private company, you need to get hold of a sponsor/partner, who should be a UAE national. The non-UAE national' partner(i.e. you) can own upto 49% of an LLC company. This is not applicable if you are setting it up in a free zone. But all types of business should be licensed with the Ministry of economy and commerce. Minimum capital required to set up a limited liability company(LLC), is Dirhams 3,00,000, in Dubai.

If you are looking for investors you find alot of them but as because of the economic downfall it's hard to find export business investors. Though you can set up meeting with them and talk over it. Other than that when you go on visiting dubai, you will find such people on your spree who would like some business interest.
So, go ahead and paln your visit.
Dubai is waiting for people like you !!

Hello,
Yes,you are on the right track...Dubai is the World's most prefered destination for business,tourism,and entertainment.
The one thing you should keep in mind is that Dubai has no corporational tax,therefor,you get to keep everything you make!
However,the legal matters might be a bit time-consuming,as you will need Trading License depending on what business you are planning to start.This can only be obtained by finding a local sponsor,as in UAE the license are not issued in other way.
The payment might be in various ways,you can eighter make a deal to split your profit in definite percentage,or simply pay one amount in the beginning.
The workforce is quite cheap,and trading laws are very linear...
For any further questions,I will need to know what kind of business you desire to start.Please feel free to e-mail me any time.

Regards,
Anne P.

Dubai means Business:
Dubai presents international business with a wide range of opportunities for different activities and operations, including:


■Trade.
■Transport and distribution.
■Manufacturing and processing.
■Regional offices.

There are many options open to international companies seeking to establish a business relationship with Dubai. Apart from forming a trading relationship, many companies find that there are distinct advantages in having an on-the-spot presence in order to research market prospects, make contacts, liaise with customers, and see through the details of any transactions and orders secured.

Hi Mr Apugiba
Good Day and welcome to Dubai,UAE. Planing to visit ? Dubai is an excellent place to Visit.Looking to enjoy? Plan to come here around Novemer to March, the climate will be excellent , shopping festivals,Good bargains in each and every thing. Feel free to contact incase you require reservations in any category of hotels, travel arrangements ,Airport pick up, any visa related issues etc..
About business, as like any other Developed Countries UAE is also hit by the financial crisis and so far not showing any sign of improvement in recents months,.Oppertunities are every where if you are a good business man,even at this time. If you want to set up a company here ,its very easy --if you have sufficient money to pay to a Business set up provider or else if you want to do it by your self look for a visit visa, come here and get the help of somebody who has done these procedures before. I do own a General Trading Company(L.L.C) in dubai and how much ever I can help you, I will do incase if you require . I just want to say if you want to do business ,any where in World, nowhere you can say it is safe! Its up to you to manage your business be aware of dangers keep away from troubles. There are lots of people in Dubai who wants to look for an oppertunity in african countries,since business in Africa is emerging now,may be you can find a right business partner here. All the best and let me know if you are visiting Dubai in near future.
Welcome to dubai once again
Thank you

Dear David,
Dubai is still a good place for business if you have time and money to survive the first year. And it depends in which business field you are in. I wouldn't suggest real estate in the moment. As Emir mentioned before, the Chamber of Commerce is a good place to start. After that you have to talk to everybody. People are willing to give you advice.

Hello Mr.Abalor,
Welcome to Dubai. Sorry to say that i am not a business person, but I can suggest that you come to Dubai first for a visit and see for yourself the beauty of the place.It really depends on the kind of business you want to get into to be able to consider it a good investment, so by coming here and feeling the pulse of the city i think is a very wise step to do.As suggested by others you might want to visit the government website link for more information.Thank you and Good Luck.
