										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/dubai">Dubai</a></strong> is an incredibly developing city in the United Arab Emirates, geographically located between Asian and European markets. The government is transforming the city into the <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/smartestcity">smartest city</a></strong> in the world using modern <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/technology">technology</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/innovations">innovations</a></strong>. The commercial transparency and ease of doing <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/business">business</a></strong> aids the setup of small and medium enterprises, and even major global conglomerates.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The economy of Dubai is no longer reliant on oil but is rather diversified into <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/trade">trade</a></strong>, tourism, <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/finance">finance</a></strong> and services sectors. Most businesses are set up in the <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/freetradezones">Free Trade Zones</a></strong> which are structured to attract foreign investment through the ease of setup, 100% ownership, tax exemption, no trade barriers, etc.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The economy of Dubai is open to attract investors. The government has constructed one of the best infrastructures of business facilitation. It also invests heavily in <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/transport">transport</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/telecommunications">telecommunications</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/energy">energy</a></strong>, modern real estates and housing facilities.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are investment opportunities in the following key sectors.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Logistics &amp; Transportation</span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dubai is strategically located as a central hub between the East and West. An investment in trade, logistics and e-commerce thrive well in the region. Thousands of distributions occur daily through world-class aviation and seaports infrastructure in Dubai.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aviation Industry</span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aviation accounted for 15% of the UAE’s GDP in 2018. According to the Airports Council International, the Al Maktoum International Airport comes 19th internationally in terms of the volume of freight handled, and can accommodate millions of passengers who pass through connecting flights. Dubai International Airport also ranked in the Best Airport Operator of the year category, transporting millions of cargoes every year. Dubai is one of the world’s leading centres of aviation and re-exporting hubs in the world.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Travel and Tourism</span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The travel sector in Dubai is also booming and investment in this sector will pay. According to the <strong><a href="https://www.wttc.org/">World Travel &amp; Tourism Council</a></strong>, the industry contributed 11.1% ($44.8 billion) to the economy of UAE in 2018. It is projected to about 312.4 billion to the UAE’s GDP by 2027. Travels and tourism in Dubai contribute the highest share to the GDP of the UAE, amongst the Gulf Cooperation Council states.  Crenov8 Consulting has a lot of commercial incentive packages that attract investors looking to expand in the tourism sector.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Real Estate</span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">About 85% of people living in the UAE are expats. Other than visitors for vacations or healthcare, millions are attracted to trade and have set up businesses in the UAE. Therefore, an investment in the real estate sector is a safe bet. The UAE is developing at ultra-high speed and is regarded as the most suitable for real estate investments in the Middle East and Africa. In preparation for the EXPO 2020, billions have been sunk into infrastructural projects in Dubai. The Dubai 3D Printing Strategy estimates that by 2030, about 25%of all buildings in Dubai will be 3D printed.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Technology &amp; Finance</span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The UAE is the centre for information and communications technology of the Middle East. Work is ongoing to make Dubai the world’s smartest city by 2021. The Smart City strategy was launched in 2014 as one of the most ambitious ICT projects in the world. Government services such as facilitating importation to the UAE, transportation services, business setup, and over 1000 government primary services are now accessible online. As a result, the digital sector is booming and yields a high return on investments. Life is easier and businesses operate seamlessly.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Agriculture</span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The UAE has tremendously developed in recent times, as it gears towards attaining the smartest city in the world by 2021. It has transitioned from a trade hub to a business location that is headquarters to several multinationals due to the ease of doing business. The 40 free trade zones encourage companies to easily set up businesses with low or zero tax implications and full ownership in the UAE. Hosting EXPO 2020 also provides an opportunity to attract more international investors.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com">Crenov8 Consulting</a></strong> is a management consulting firm based in Dubai, UAE that helps businesses easily set up in the UAE. Some of our services include branding, business setup, event management, management consultancy, procurement, corporate training and other digital services.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Market research is the crux of every new and existing business. It serves as a source of data-driven information about a company&#8217;s target market and provides the landscape for businesses to thrive. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Data-driven Market research help brands survey the market terrain, get foreknowledge of a <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/business">business</a></strong> in a prospective market and to understand scaling trends that could affect products.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It also helps businesses identify the right audience, know the acceptable market price, and understand promotion channels. In a data-led world where market research is key; there is a need to integrate the <strong><a href="https://www.crenov8.com/tag/technology">technology</a></strong> behind data computation with orthodox market research. This will increase product penetration and placement becomes imperative.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Market research is broadly divided into primary and secondary research. The integration of data into these duo produces the Data-led Primary Market Research and Secondary Market Research.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The data-led primary market research gathers information for brands via interviews and polls. With the use of tech in gathering information, data is now easily derived without contacting the direct customer. Today, data-driven research is conducted through online platforms like survey monkey, polls ng, and even Google Form. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter further gives room for market research on their platform through survey options. Each of these channels allows product acceptability and target market information to be measured, collated and interpreted with ease.</span></p>
<hr />
<p><strong>See also:  <em><a href="https://crenov8.com/blog/the-top-10-richest-businessmen-of-2019/">The Top 10 Richest Businessmen of 2019</a></em></strong></p>
<hr />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other hand, Data-led Secondary Market Research uses readily available data from established organizations and research institutes to determine a brand&#8217;s decision and predict the target customer&#8217;s attitude. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Third-party data is used to drive secondary research and provides access to varieties of information. For example, Facebook provides information about over 2 billion users on its platform. Data on user&#8217;s daily search and the frequency of search using pictographs and maps can be accessed on Google trends. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These data can be analyzed on apps like Google Analytics, IBM WATSON, Google Data Studio, and others. Moreso, a platform like Facebook can help you generate data and followers through shared content. It helps you do virtual market research by predicting the location, sales, and acceptability of your product.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are effective steps to conducting data-led market research</span></p>
<p>Start your market research with a specific audience in mind. <span style="font-weight: 400;">Knowing your audience helps you determine who they are through data sourced online, acquired from third-party platforms or deduced by the market research consultant. More importantly, you have to be specific when considering your target audience. Endeavor to understand customer&#8217;s purchase habits, what spurs their buying decision and their location. This is majorly gotten by knowing your buyers’ persona. Follow this </span><strong><a href="https://www.goodtoseo.com/what-is-a-buyer-persona-and-why-is-it-important/">link</a></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to map out your target customers&#8217; persona.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next, you need to learn how to interpret and manipulate available data to suit your needs. The inability to meaningfully interpret data defeats the essence of data-driven research. Another way of extracting raw data is through the help of third-party research companies. This requires the help of an experienced Data Scientist. In this case, Crenov8 is recognized as a go-to company to source for the best digital market researcher who can harness data online for effective market penetration. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, make sure you put the acquired data into good use and repeat the process. Evaluate your win, improve on your success and predict unseen tides through information generated from the research. Having interpreted your data and derived information on how best to penetrate the market, use it judiciously. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Market research without data is a shot in the dark and a single pick in an ocean of a variety of opportunities. Don’t be stuck in a spot, use tech generated information to launch into that new market. Remember, Data is at your beck and call, use it!</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><strong>Four Important Issues To Consider First</strong></p>
<p align="justify">You’re an expatriate and you want to set up a business in Dubai. Where do you start? What are the legal procedures you should pass through? Where is the best location to set up your business? Do you set up in a free-zone or not? What are the Visa requirements for you as the owner of the business? Setting up a business in Dubai requires six procedures that on the average may take eight days to complete. However, prior to beginning the process, consider the following vital information:</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Ownership:</strong></p>
<p align="justify">If you are looking to have 100% ownership of your company, then it has to be set up in a free zone. This rule does not apply to oil and gas companies with concession agreements, electricity companies, and companies into water treatment, transmission, and distribution.  There are 20 different free zones in Dubai, 46 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). For a full list of them click on this <a href="http://gulfnews.com/guides/life/property-2.4546/45-free-zones-in-the-uae-find-the-right-one-for-your-new-business-1.1716197"><span class="s2">link</span></a>. Free zones are also good options because they offer ease in setting up businesses. However, if your business is not set up in a free zone, then it is advisable to set up a <a href="https://www.varaluae.com/company-formation-in-dubai/"><span class="s2">locally registered limited liability company</span></a> (LLC) for which a UAE national will need to have 51% partnership as a “local sponsor”. A sponsor must be paid a negotiable yearly fee and building a good relationship with your sponsor will be to your own advantage.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Licensing:</strong></p>
<p align="justify">In order to set up your business,  it must be licensed in the UAE. The <a href="http://www.uaetrade-usa.org/index.php?page=uae-economy&amp;cmsid=105"><span class="s2">type of business</span></a> you set up will determine the kind of license you will need. Under UAE law, there are five types of businesses that foreign entities can set up: a permanent establishment, a branch office, a civil company (limited to Sharjah and Dubai), a commercial agency agreement, or a UAE free zone entity. E</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Taxes:</strong></p>
<p align="justify">There are no corporate taxes levied by the federal government on income or wealth of companies and individuals. However, there is an applicable duty levied by each municipality in each emirate at the issuance or renewal of a trade licence equal to 10% of the annual rent (offices and warehouses) and 5% of total salary remuneration to employees. Besides companies set up in free zones, a progressive tax is levied on companies that conduct trade or business through a permanent establishment situated in an Emirate (permanent establishment type of business). For further tax details, visit this <a href="https://en.portal.santandertrade.com/establish-overseas/united-arab-emirates/tax-system"><span class="s2">link</span></a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Visa Applications:</strong></p>
<p align="justify">If the business you wish to startup in Dubai is a local company, it will be important that the UAE national who is your sponsor applies for you as the investor of your business. For staff, the number of visas your business will be able to apply for will depend on the size and type specifications of the business. The application process is not too rigorous and it does not take a lot of time. Business is encouraged in the UAE so business owners are encouraged to come.</p>
<p align="justify">These are some of the basic regulations and laws you need to know to set up your business in the UAE. Some specific details must be dealt with during the process as well, such as finding the right free zone to accommodate your type of business and your proposed business size. It is also advisable to hire a business advisory firm to help set up your business as this will simplify the process.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><strong>THE GOOGLE FOR ENTREPRENEURS STARTUP GRIND</strong></p>
<p align="justify">According to founder of STEP, Mr. Ray Dargham, a person has three opportunities in life; his twenties, his thirties and his forties. This is but an example of the candid remarks that Ray made during yesterday&#8217;s Startup Grind, hosted by Google for Entrepreneurs, at in5 innovation center in Dubai.</p>
<p align="justify">Ray is an individual that, upon study of website content on traditional Arabic websites and media, noticed that there was a gap in engaging content and saw the opportunity to fill this gap. Thus he was led to set up the uprising media empire known as STEP.</p>
<p align="justify">Ray and STEP also host a yearly conference for entrepreneurs, startups and content producers known as STEP conference, the largest interactive gathering in MENA (the Middle East and North Africa). This year’s STEP conference will come off from <a href="https://stepconference.com/"><span class="s2">April 5th to the 7th</span></a> and will be hosted at the Dubai International Marine Club.</p>
<p align="justify">Throughout the program, Ray spoke of his personal experiences in setting up a team to accomplish the goal he wanted to achieve and a few of his personal insights with those that attended the program. STEP is mainly in the business of producing Arabic content for several different websites. Some of this content production is automated in that, a system processes which content is the most appropriate for which sites based on the region of the site’s reach, and the website’s purpose. One interesting thing he said was that he could not tell any business what challenges it should look for and what cases to avoid because each business is a unique case of its own with its own specific characteristics and challenges.</p>
<p align="justify">In the case of his business, he explained he wanted to add humorous content to websites. However, with each different type of Arabic dialect, there was a type of humor that was particular to it. So, in building a team, he had to find ppl to develop content for different dialects of Arabic as opposed to developing the same content across. Hence, he has teams of content producers for different regions.</p>
<p align="justify">My biggest takeaway from the conference was that there is no right formula for business. If you have a business idea and you would like to go head with it, you define your own rules and tactics based on the elements that you have to deal with. Every business and every business idea is its own individual identity. So, it is the job of the entrepreneur to help the world truly understand the identity of your business and its product or service. The next <a href="https://www.googleforentrepreneurs.com/startup-communities/startup-grind/"><span class="s2">Google for Entrepreneurs Startup Grind</span></a> in Dubai will be hosted in May at the same location. If you are an entrepreneur and seek an environment where you can discuss your business and its growth or its sustainability, I recommend this program for you.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">What ideas come to mind when you hear the word “Dubai”? Does your mind begin to formulate images of the sorts of innovations and technological advancements that have led to the city of Dubai being classified as the most rapidly growing city in the world?</p>
<p align="justify">Do you begin to form a Guinness Book of World Records reference list, categorizing its various infrastructures as the world’s largest this or the world’s longest that? Well, if you are a business owner looking to expand into a new market or an individual with a great idea for a start-up, here’s a couple of reasons why, when you think of Dubai, starting your business here should also come to mind as well.</p>
<p align="justify">Dubai is a strategic location for your business setup because it facilitates easy access to major markets all over the world. Dubai sits at an intersection between the regions of Africa, Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East, easily accessing a combined regional population of 2.2 billion people. More importantly, because of its strategic location, many multinational companies have regional headquarters in Dubai; as they experience a growth in their supply chains, they channel more business through Dubai leading to continual economic growth. As a complement to its location, the emirate is now home to the world’s busiest airport, the Dubai International Airport, which had more than 70 million passengers last year alone and, the world’s most productive container facility in 2014, Port Jebel Ali. Therefore, setting up a business in Dubai opens your business up to the opportunity for growth into other markets also, in different regions, all over the world.</p>
<p align="justify">Dubai has an advanced infrastructural network that makes running a business here convenient as well. In anticipation of a 6-month long, global exhibition expected to host 25 million visitors, the emirate of Dubai is expected to have spent $300 billion by the year 2030 on infrastructure alone. The development of road and transportation networks facilitating the transport of both goods and people has been coupled with continuing growth in the hospitalities industry. For your business, this transfers into easy access to the rest of the UAE market, and support to expand within the country.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><a href="https://crenov8.com/blog/tag/uae">The UAE and Dubai especially</a></strong>, have a high number of free trade zones where foreign companies can set up businesses with less restriction. The government of Dubai has intentionally kept Dubai’s economy open in order to attract foreign business investment. In Dubai alone, 20 of the UAE’s 45 free trade zones can be found. Within these zones, foreign companies are allowed to have 100 percent foreign national ownership with no requirement of a local sponsor, as well as exemption of personal and corporate taxes (corporate tax exemption subject to renewal). Custom duties are kept low at four percent with several exemptions. These zones even allow for 100 percent repatriation of profits! Given these factors, it is no wonder the UAE ranked 26<sup>th</sup> in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Report with the number one ranking in ease of paying taxes.</p>
<p align="justify">The UAE has made a strong comeback after the global recession of 2008. For many nations in the Gulf, high economic dependence on oil and gas have left them vulnerable to recent fluctuations in the prices of oil and gas. Though a large portion of the UAE’s economy is made up of oil and gas, it has also been able to diversify into other industries to support the stability of the economy. The UAE is now a high-income country with a GDP per capita equivalent to 311 percent of the world’s average as of 2015. For your business, this means a level of economic safety to support you as you run your business.</p>
<p align="justify">Given all these benefits, there is a high incentive for you to start your business in Dubai. However, the process of establishing a business in a market you are new to maybe a bit difficult. You have questions about legal requirements, about business set up, about acquiring a business license and so much more.
