Birmingham1982 is on a distinguished road
Default Business In Dubai

Hi

I am Looking to start my own Business in Dubai. The two sectors that I am looking at are the security (man Guarding) and cleaning.

AS you Know the market for the above 2 sectors is MASSIVE in England. whats the situation like in DUBAI?

Is they well catered for or is there scope to set up and expand On the security and Cleaning sectors?

Your thoughts would be welcome.

Thanks

These types of job are largely done by low paid workers from the Indian subcontinent.

I suggest you do some research as Dubai is nothing like the UK in terms of:

a) Setting up & running companies
b) what people will pay for cleaners
c) what companies will pay for security guards

There is a 'mall' just outside Dubai called Dragonmart which is full of imported Chinese goods. I reckon we are at saturation point.
