International Business Development

Today’s business outlook in Canada, with new administration in the White House and new Canadian party in power, is rather debatable. However, businesses have always been vulnerable to variables such as political changes, technological challenges, environmental issues, or simply not being sure whether a product/service would sell or not.
Extending the outreach can be your solution. Offering your products or services to international markets will mitigate the risks associated with uncertainty.
In the past two decades UAE, and in particular Dubai, gradually transformed itself into an international business hub.

Dubai has one of the most dynamic and business-friendly environments in the world. Here’s a breakdown of key aspects:
1. Business-Friendly Policies
Tax Benefits – No personal income tax, low corporate tax (9% for businesses with profits over AED 375,000, effective since 2023). Free Zones – Over 40 free zones offering 100% foreign ownership, zero customs duties, and full profit repatriation. Ease of Doing Business – Ranked high globally for business setup, with streamlined registration processes and digital government services.
2. Strong Economic Sectors
Real Estate & Construction – Massive infrastructure projects and high demand for luxury properties. Retail & Tourism – A global shopping hub with millions of tourists annually. Trade & Logistics – A major global port and logistics center. Finance & Tech – Growing fintech and startup ecosystem with strong government support.
3. Foreign Investment & Global Connectivity
Strategic Location – Acts as a gateway between Europe, Asia, and Africa. Top Infrastructure – World-class airports, ports, and public transport. FDI Incentives – Pro-investment policies and venture capital support for startups.
4. Cultural & Legal Factors
Multicultural Workforce – Expats make up over 80% of the population. Regulatory Framework – Strong business laws but strict compliance is required. Corporate Governance – Transparency and anti-money laundering regulations are strictly enforced.
