How To Open A Business Centre In UAE

The prospects of growth of businesses are continuously increasing in UAE. It is the reason that every big and small entrepreneur wants to grab his/her share in this lucrative market of the most business-friendly country in GCC. The govt. of Dubai is providing all the necessary incentives for the whole business community to establish and progress in the mainland and free zone areas of the country.

Free zones are preferred by many small investors as they can avail complete ownership of their company zones. These business jurisdictions also provide an opportunity for individuals or a small company to set up their business in a very small office. These small offices are quite helpful for small entrepreneurs who are unable to pay high rents of large offices that are also not according to their requirements.

But free zones have their own shortcomings as they mostly allow establishment of specific types of businesses. These free zones are also available near coastal areas and providing goods or services from free zones to mainland is not only costly but they are also taxed by the govt.

Benefits of business centers in UAE

Therefore, mainland is a better place for those small investors who want to keep their business entirely in UAE. The government of UAE is also trying to provide facilities to small investors to cross all the hurdles. In order to provide convenient accommodation to these small investors, construction of business centers is allowed by the UAE government.

The purpose of these business centers is to assist small entrepreneurs in setting up their businesses in small offices where they will be provided with every necessity at relatively lower costs. These business centers provide a good option for small businesses to grow in Dubai mainland. It is safe to say that these business centers are a solution to office requirements in UAE for small investors.
