Business licencing in Dubai is not just hit and giggle.

Mind telling us what the business is? We may be interested to buy your idea if thats what your selling
This business was ran in Dubai, Am here a long time. Am not coming in with something from an outside market. Its very unique to the GCC region and sadly it doesn't have a big enough catchment to be franchised over Dubai. It could me franchised over the GCC i.e Qatar Saudi etc. But we're along way off that. Yes NDA's have been signed etc.

The biggest problem i'm having with investment is, I'm not looking for a huge amount I.e Millions upon millions its barely a quarter of a million. But on the basis that it was ran on last year here in Dubai for 3months it's a very strong investment for.

The figure is the reason i decided not to contact envestors.ae as i didn't think it was big enough for them to be interested.

if you have a website and therefore your idea is public, why don't you tell us what it is?

A quarter of a million of what? if Dirhams, then the best thing really would be to just take out a personal loan if you believe in the idea.

If you're going to run a business then you might want to learn about something called Google.

An outstanding business plan
Website
Branding
Client base

We have pitched so far to two very big companies and both are interested,

Sadly though the biggest hurdle i am facing currently is finance. I am looking for an investor.

Does anyone have experience of setting up a company here in Dubai and could possibly help with investors???

Thanks Chris
better not be pre-shuffled playing cards, I'm awaiting my patent!
