Trying to Understand the Details of UAE & its Market? Here’s What to Expect:
The first thing a new visitor to Dubai notices upon arrival is the infrastructure. The impression begins at the airport and continues on the smooth high-speed automated metro past the iconic landmarks of the city’s skyline to his hotel, one of over 500 with world-class facilities at every price point.
The second is the orderliness, a sense that things work here. Immigration, for instance, moves surprisingly fast for an airport that handles the highest passenger volume in the world– 86.4 million in 2019. Then out on the city roads, RFID technology-based gates on city roads wirelessly debit toll charges off moving vehicles. Indeed, things move here!
“It means you’re on your toes and you’re aware of the problem,” says Andrew Buck, business lawyer at Avvocato Law in Winnipeg.”
1. UAE Economy & Business Structure
As personal income tax, corporate income tax in the UAE is practically zero and while VAT is applicable, at 5% it is low. The country also allows 100% capital and profit repatriation and 100% FDI ownership in many sectors as well as in dedicated Economic Free Zones. With such factors alone it makes this a highly attractive destination for investors. The UAE goes the extra mile to ensure that setting up and operating a business is easier than in most other countries.
The World Bank’s ‘Doing Business’ 2020 report has UAE at the 16th place in its ranking of 190 countries. Notable in the report is the ease of Business Setup in UAE– an average of 2.5 procedures and four days and zero paid-in minimum capital requirement. Or consider ‘Getting Electricity’ on which the UAE tops the list: it takes an average of two procedures and seven days for a business to get a new connection. The moot point perhaps is the growth in ranking over the years reflecting a proactive, continually improving economic system that is focused on attracting more and more investors. For instance, the government has recently approved a 10-year residency permit for investors and professionals.
The infrastructure that serves citizens, ex-pats, and, tourists alike so well is also a significant engine of economic and business growth. The World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Index of 2019 ranks UAE 25th in the world and 12th on infrastructure. Highlights include the second rank on ICT adoption, and seventh on quality of roads and air transport services. The increased productivity and reduced effective operating costs for businesses that accrue from infrastructural advantages cannot be overemphasized.
2. Funding and Support Networks
UAE’s funding and support network is an exemplary one. It’s highly developed and convenient. Along with a vibrant financial environment, the government offers to educate the next generation of entrepreneurs which results in the creation of innovative forward-thinking businesses. The liquidity procedures get easier if you have the guidance of a great consultant to help you through the way and take charge of your all business proceeding for your Business Setup in UAE.

3. The UAE Business Environment for Indian Entrepreneurs
Safety and socio-political stability are other major reasons why the UAE is such a desirable investment destination. Year after year, the country remains the proverbial island in the sea of socio-political storms that the Middle East often finds itself to be. Even domestic disturbances to businesses, such as strikes or riots, simply do not exist. The state’s social policies since its inception have created a just and equitable society where happy citizens share some of the highest living standards in the world with an ex-pat base of over 100 nationalities. All living and working harmoniously side by side.
Geographical location too is a well-acknowledged part of the UAE growth story. Indeed, one of the main achievements of the UAE leadership’s long-term strategy has been to successfully leverage its proximity to key economic zones and position the country as an equidistant hub linking them. While the obvious use of this idea has been in trade, transport, and logistics– think Jebel Ali port or Emirates Airlines – its application has gone beyond. The financial free zone, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), for example, was launched as the midpoint between the markets closing in Hong Kong and opening in New York. The very close physical proximity to India (along with socio-cultural affinities of course) makes the UAE particularly attractive to Indian businessmen and investors, the journey taking no longer than many domestic flights within India.
