Need help with a project, have a question about our work? We’re here.
  • Once you have completed your due diligence, you may think the natural next step would be to engage a business setup provider in the market you have chosen.

  • However, our decades of experience in the MENA region – and particularly in the GCC countries – have confirmed the need for robust local expertise on the ground to ensure you enter the market appropriately.

  • This entails seeking advice around public relations and communications, government affairs, and public policy, as well as business etiquette, political context, and sensitivities.
