Dubai and the United Arab Emirates

The UAE is a trading hub towards the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The entry model must be chosen carefully.

01

Free zone or mainland

Free zone and mainland companies follow different rules on permitted activities and access to the local market. The choice depends on the business model and must be verified with local professionals.

02

Distributors and agents

For many products a qualified local distributor is the fastest route to the region's retailers and buyers.

  • Distributor search and qualification
  • Product registration requirement checks
  • Meeting support

03

Taxation

The UAE tax framework has changed in recent years. Any assessment must be based on current law with licensed professionals.
