Can you shed some light on the partnership between RAKEZ and Shenzhen Longhua District and how it helps sustain meaningful collaborations between global economies?

The partnership between RAKEZ and Shenzhen Longhua District is a significant step towards enhancing global economic collaboration.

Blockchain technology is expected to bring greater transparency to supply chains, enabling real-time tracking and improving trust by reducing delays and fraud. Additionally, the continued rise of e-commerce will push innovation in last-mile delivery, with advancements like drone deliveries, smart lockers, and faster shipping solutions becoming more prevalent. These trends will help free zones stay competitive, enabling businesses to thrive in an evolving global marketplace.

As someone who has built multiple businesses in the UAE’s free zones, what factors do you believe are critical for start-up success in this unique business landscape?

Navigating the UAE’s free zones as an entrepreneur means understanding both the potential and the unique demands of this market. First and foremost, agility is key. The business environment here evolves quickly, and successful start-ups are those that can adapt, innovate, and remain flexible. Secondly, understanding the regulatory landscape is essential — free zones offer incredible benefits, but you’ve got to be on top of compliance and know the nuances.

Another critical factor is network building. Finally, cultural competence can’t be overlooked.

“Investors must have a clear understanding of the procedures and regulations before they start”

What should investors consider before starting a business in the UAE?

The UAE is the land of free zones, providing investors with a host of options for establishing a company. The first step is choosing a free zone that is best suited for their business operations.

Often, investors are confused about which free trade zone to choose for their business, and that is where business consultants guide them the right way.

Secondly, they must be clear about the selection of business activities for their new company. Some business activities in the healthcare, education, food and beverages sectors require special approvals from the authority.

Investors must have a clear understanding of the procedures and regulations before they start a business in the UAE. Finally, choosing the right office space is essential for effectively attending to customers and streamlining office work. The investors must also study the addressable market, competition, and product feasibility.

The government’s D33 agenda has created this perfect storm of opportunity, especially with recent regulatory frameworks supporting digital assets and cryptocurrencies.

“Business set-up consultants play an indispensable role in today’s technology-driven market”

What are the investment challenges for local and foreign investors, and how can they be mitigated?

Investing in the UAE’s dynamic market presents unique challenges shaped by our evolving regulatory environment. The recent introduction of corporate tax, the adjustment in foreign ownership laws, and the continuous reshaping of trade agreements demand a proactive approach to compliance and strategic planning. For local investors, the key challenge lies in responding effectively to rapid economic policy changes. Foreign investors, on the other hand, must navigate a complex legal framework that can often seem daunting.

To overcome these hurdles, we advocate for a strategy that combines the use of advanced digital tools with expert advisory services. This approach ensures that investors receive real-time, data-driven insights, enabling them to anticipate and adapt to regulatory changes swiftly. By staying at the forefront of policy updates and aligning investment strategies, businesses can not only mitigate risks but also capitalise on emerging opportunities.

How can business set-up consultants help ease the set-up processes for investors?

Business set-up consultants play an indispensable role in today’s technology-driven market, merging their deep industry knowledge with cutting-edge technology to facilitate smooth business set-ups.

A reliable consultant should offer comprehensive guidance, including legal compliance, licensing options, and tailored advice for your industry. Ensure they are well-connected with the UAE’s regulatory bodies to simplify processes. Remember, the right consultant is not just a service provider but a partner in your entrepreneurial journey.

Kudos on your impressive progress toward achieving 1,000 company set-ups in a single month! As you gear up to hit this milestone in December, what has the journey been like so far? Based on this experience, what do you see as the top sectors for investment in the UAE right now?

While we are working towards achieving over 1,000 successful company set-ups in a month this December, the journey so far has required meticulous planning, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to supporting each client’s unique vision. This process demonstrates that our streamlined methods and advisory expertise truly make a difference.

When it comes to top sectors, technology and digital services, particularly e-commerce and artificial intelligence, are seeing significant investment growth as the UAE positions itself as a global tech hub. Healthcare and wellness industries are also on the rise. Additionally, with the UAE’s focus on sustainability, renewable energy and eco-friendly ventures are gaining traction, especially in free zones.

At A&A Associate, we are proud to guide businesses through this dynamic and promising landscape.

What investment opportunities do you think will shape the future?

Technologies, particularly AI, blockchain, and fintech, stand out as a key growth area, with the UAE’s progressive digital policies paving the way for innovation. E-commerce is also set to expand, supported by strong infrastructure and increasing digitalisation.

Healthcare and life sciences, especially telemedicine and wellness, are poised for growth.

“Engaging a knowledgeable consultant is important for business success”

What are some of the common challenges start-ups face to comply with the UAE’s corporate taxation rules and how could you help businesses navigate these regulations?

Start-ups in the UAE are facing notable challenges with corporate tax (CT) registration, particularly when dealing with multiple licences, unincorporated partnerships, or foreign permanent establishments. The complexities are further underscored by recent tax return guidelines, which emphasise critical opportunities such as writing off or carrying forward tax losses, leveraging business restructuring reliefs, transferring assets within qualified groups, and claiming foreign tax credits. Additionally, compliance issues have arisen for some free zone businesses that have violated regulations by selling directly to local customers instead of through mainland companies.

To manage these complexities effectively, start-ups should engage qualified accountants who possess comprehensive training in corporate tax. A basic understanding gained from webinars and seminars is insufficient, particularly when handling advanced issues like transfer pricing for interrelated group entities.

Investors must also recognise that the 9 per cent corporate tax rate applies universally across all jurisdictions—mainland, free zone, and offshore. However, several exemptions can reduce the rate to 0 per cent, provided the business meets specific criteria. Jitendra Tax Consultants offers a thorough cost-benefit analysis to help businesses determine the optimal tax strategy, whether opting for the 9 per cent or 0 per cent rate.

What do you think is the key to having a successful venture in the UAE?

Businesses can position themselves for growth and sustainability with a fantastic go-to market strategy, which we can provide. Proper planning, disciplined business practices, and a commitment to compliance are essential for running a successful venture in the UAE. Establishing and adhering to robust standard operating procedures (SOPs), ensuring timely execution, and complying with all applicable laws while meeting deadlines are critical factors for sustained success. Engaging a knowledgeable consultant who can provide a comprehensive, 360-degree perspective is equally important.

Entrepreneurs starting in the UAE should seek expert guidance to navigate the country’s complex laws and compliance requirements.

With increased regulatory demands, partnering with consultants familiar with local legalities is vital. Poor advice or biases can lead to unsuitable decisions and long-term issues. Conducting a comprehensive feasibility study is recommended to assess market fit, identify risks, and choose the best economic zone.

Strategic planning and the right advisors are essential for a successful and compliant business venture.
