The evolving landscape of business in Dubai is one that I have witnessed over the years. The city continues to be one of the most attractive destinations for entrepreneurs and investors alike. Dubai has many strategic advantages that make it one of the standout cities in the country. 

It goes without saying that Dubai’s favorable tax regime is what draws businesses in. The city offers zero personal income tax, no corporate tax, and 100% foreign ownership in most sectors. The tax rate of corporate tax remains at 9%, which positions Dubai as one of the most business-friendly cities globally.

One of the things that I find interesting about the city is that the government is continuously streamlining procedures for starting and running a business. Free zones offer 100% repatriation of profits and simplify customs regulations.

Another thing that sets Dubai at the forefront of trading activities is its smart city initiatives, advanced infrastructure, and focus on technology-driven sectors like AI, fintech, and renewable energy. The city’s state-of-the-art infrastructure makes it an ideal environment to begin business ventures.
