Company Formation in Dubai
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of 7 emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. At the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the UAE’s economy is the most diverse.
A country that once relied on the export of large quantities of oil reserves to run its economy is now moving into business and tourism for its economic growth, attracting a small portion of its GDP from it. The UAE is one of the largest business centers in the world, the most populous city Dubai operates as a major global city, and a favorite destination for entrepreneurs, investors and tourists alike. All this is possible as a result of the UAE Government’s market – friendly economic policies over the past 3 decades, promoting foreign investment, sustainable development, innovation and research.
