Hello everybody.

I understand that a non-citizen of UAE needs a local partner to start a business there. How would somebody find such partner? Is there an establishment that introduces potential citizens who are willing to be partners?

Hi,
Not required if you open a company in one of the numerous Freezones.

Thanks Steve

My intention is to run a restaurant or coffeeshop preferably franchise. I am assuming that free zones are more suitable for factories and offices and not for a small/medium food franchise like Subway. Am I wrong?
