Start Your Business in Dubai — Turnkey, From Idea to Opening Day

You want to start a business in Dubai, not manage five agencies. One team takes you from the idea to the licence, the premises or website, and training for your staff before opening day.

This is for you if:

  • You have ideas and need a business consultant in Dubai to pick the one that works
  • You're moving to the UAE and want a running business, not just a licence
  • You're opening a café, shop or office and need the premises ready too
  • You're selling online and need a website and marketing from day one
  • You'd rather not chase departments, contractors and agencies yourself
  • Your first staff need training before you open

Online business

E-commerce, consultancy, digital services
  • Idea, market check and a licence that fits online trading
  • Website built and live
  • Social media set up and branded
  • Marketing strategy for your first months
  • Accounting, VAT and PRO support after launch
🏬

Offline business (shop, café, office)

Everything in the online track, plus the space your customers walk into
  • Location search and lease, with Ejari where required
  • Interior design
  • Renovation and fit-out
  • Furniture and equipment
  • Annual maintenance support after opening

Planning to open a restaurant in Dubai? Food outlets need extra approvals. Read our guides to the restaurant licence and the cafeteria licence.

How We Start a Business in Dubai With You: 5 Stages

You see the whole route before you pay for anything. Every stage ends with something concrete in your hands.

One team 5 Stages from your first idea to opening day — one WhatsApp chat, one person who knows your file.
01
Idea

Choose the business idea

The best business ideas in Dubai fit your budget, your skills and your visa plan. We test your options against all three.

You get
  • A shortlist that fits your budget
  • A clear pick, with the reasons written down
02
Market

Check competitors and market size

Before you pay for a licence, we look at who already sells what you plan to sell, at what price, and how big the market is. If the numbers don't work, you find out now, not after signing a lease.

You get
  • A competitor map with prices and positioning
  • A market-size estimate, sources shown
  • A go / adjust / stop recommendation
03
Licence & location

Open the company, find the location, get the permits

Mainland or free zone: we pick the route that fits your activity. Our in-house PRO desk prepares the documents, submits them and follows them up.

You get
  • Trade licence and establishment cards
  • Premises or lease, with Ejari where required
  • Activity approvals and visas where in scope
04
Build

Build it: online or offline

Online: website, social media and a marketing strategy. Offline: all of that, plus premises designed, renovated and furnished to make customers stop and look in.

You get
  • Website and social accounts live
  • A launch marketing plan
  • Offline: premises ready to open, with maintenance support after
05
Team

Train your team

On opening day, your staff are the business. We build a training plan for your team and deliver corporate training in Dubai through our KHDA-certified courses: PRO work, UAE Labour Law and practical accounting, each a separate course. Front-line staff can also join our sales bootcamp.

You get
  • A training plan matched to each role
  • Places on the right Sarmat courses
  • Staff work permits and visas processed by our PRO desk

Why One Team From Idea to Opening

Most founders hire a licence agent, then a designer, then a web agency. Every handover costs time.

💬

One point of contact

One WhatsApp chat and one person who knows your file. You never repeat your story to a new agency.

🗓️

Licence and build planned together

Fit-out, website and marketing are planned while the licence is in progress, so the gap between licence and opening day stays as short as possible.

📄

Documents keep moving

Typing and PRO work stay in-house in Deira, prepared and followed up by our own staff.

🤝

Support stays after launch

Accounting and VAT and PRO services continue with the team that already knows your business, from renewals to staff visas.

🎓

A KHDA-certified provider trains your team

Your people learn to handle the paperwork, the money and the compliance themselves.

What's Included

  • Idea selection with a written recommendation
  • Competitor and market-size check
  • Mainland or free zone route, trade licence, permits and approvals
  • Location search and lease support
  • Online: website, social media set-up, marketing strategy
  • Offline: interior design, renovation, furniture, annual maintenance support
  • A team training plan and places on Sarmat courses

What is included in the turnkey business service

Good to Know Before You Start

  • We don't sell ready-made businesses. We build yours, under your name, from your idea.
  • Government fees are separate. You pay them to the authorities at cost, and we show them before you commit. See what drives the cost of starting a business in Dubai.
  • The authorities issue the approvals. We submit complete applications, but the decision is theirs.
  • Contractors we select and manage deliver the renovation, website and marketing. We stay your single point of contact and keep them on schedule.
  • We launch the business; winning customers is still your job. We don't promise traffic, leads or sales.
