Doing business in the UAE

The Middle East is a fast-growing region, and the UAE is strategically located in the Arabian Peninsula, sharing borders with Saudi Arabia and Oman. Historically reliant on oil and gas, the UAE has spent the past decade diversifying its economy into other sectors, including tourism, institutional investments, and real estate. The UAE is quickly becoming a global commercial hub with increasingly liberal economic policies.

Our business guide explores the challenges and opportunities presented by the United Arab Emirates market, the legal system, foreign investment incentives and restrictions, along with top tips for establishing a business.
