Hi Newbie!
I am an American girl living in Dubai for 10 years...I laughed at your post...very sweet! I work with a company that helps small businesses get started for a very reasonable price...provides trade licenses, corporate sponsorship or agency sponsors (all foreigners need this)...and they can help you find an office, do employee visas, etc...

just email or call me if you need help...Dubai is where the big money is..but living in Sharjah is very affordable now since Dubai is expensive and only sharing apts or villas is possible on a budget (there are rooms available in villas to rent out pretty reasonable in Dubai though).

Take care and love that scuba diving! cool business!
