5 Do’s in Business Startup Dubai

1. Select a local sponsor for local business startup – Need of a UAE National

You need to get acquainted with the various facts associated with business startup Dubai and avoid the problems mostly encountered while launching a profitable enterprise in the UAE.

There are plenty of business opportunities available in Dubai, as well as in the entirety of UAE. However, if you really want to start a business which must exploit the potential of Dubai then you need a locally registered LLC business.

A UAE national must be taken as a 51% partner who is called a local sponsor. A local company provides the freedom to locate the business anywhere in the city. For a business startup Dubai this is a boon because it affords the best choice of locations to suit your budget.

A sponsor must be paid a yearly fee which can be negotiated. Do develop a rapport with your sponsor so that he is ready to help you in sorting out any problems you may face along the way with authorities.

2. Select a Free Zone if you wish to own your business 100%

Keep in mind that the only way for a business startup Dubai in UAE to start without taking a local UAE national acting as your partner is to locate your business startup Dubai in one of the Free Zones – which is practically not suited to businesses that must be in the city markets like restaurants and retail stores.

Not to mention the fact that purchase or rental in a Free Trade Zone district might be high for your budget to handle.
