In the United Arab Emirates (UAE) economic activity is regulated by both the Federal Government and the individual Emirates. In Dubai, the authorities have deliberately pursued the creation of a well-organized environment without being overly restrictive. As a result, Dubai offers operating conditions for business that are among the most liberal and attractive in the region.

There are many possibilities for international companies wishing to establish business relations with Dubai.

In addition to forming business relationships, many companies find it advantageous to have a representative office to research possible clients, build contacts, meet with clients, and check the details of each transaction and order. Having such a presence can bring considerable business benefits throughout the Middle East region. Local businesspeople prefer to deal in person with someone they know and trust: personal relationships are much more important in the Arab world than they are in Europe or America.
