Why UAE?
The UAE is one of the world’s most attractive destinations for entrepreneurs and investors. With 100% foreign ownership in many sectors, 0% corporate tax in certain jurisdictions, a strategic location, and a growing economy, there has never been a better time to launch your business in the Emirates.
