Frequently asked questions
How can a company expand into the UAE?
Expansion into the UAE starts with choosing the emirate and the type of entity, such as a mainland or free zone company, followed by the tax, accounting and regulatory set-up. SGS & Partners prepares market-entry strategies and supports the set-up from its Abu Dhabi office.
How can a Gulf business expand into the UK or Europe?
The first decisions are the country, whether to operate through a subsidiary or a branch, and how the business will be taxed and report there. We prepare market-entry strategies and support the set-up from our offices in London, Lugano and Dublin.
What should a business plan for investors include?
A business plan for investors usually sets out the business model, the market, the strategy, the management team, financial forecasts and the funding required. We prepare business plans and financial forecasts for growth, investment and financing.
