Help please: Setting up YOUR company in the UAE

David Cook - Director
Good Day Everyone,

I am writing to find out about your experience when you set up your company in Dubai - particularly from companies that came from Europe / USA. It is to support an article that I am writing about the complexities of setting up in the UAE.
I would like to know:

1. Did you set up a branch or if it was a completely new company?
2. How long did it take from the 1st phone call to completion?
3. Did you rely on a company to handle the relocation & licensing issues?
4. What license does your company have?
5. How many employees?
6. Total cost:            
Aed/-  0-100,000.00              
Aed/- 101,000-200,000           
Aed/- 201,000-500,000           
Aed/- 501,000.00 +

The information you pass may be used in the content of my article, so be sure to leave your email & company web address for a free bit of advertising should the article get published.

Thank you once again for your time.

Do YOU want to be on the 1st page of Google?

David Cook - Director UAE Compare
Hello everyone, its David here. Today is a good day, and I come bringing great news.

Once again, I have been at on the phone and in various meetings in an attempt to bring the companies of the UAE 'the best of the best - for less' - and you will not believe what we have managed to achieve! I have had numerous meetings with our friends who are the leaders in Google 'Search Engine Optimization', with the purpose of requesting that they give the customers of UAE-Compare a deal that was almost too good to be true... and they did!

To celebrate the New Year, UAE-Compare customers can benefit from 1st page of Google listings for less than AED6,000.00 - ALL IN! Consider that for a Return On Investment! That's 5 key phrases for 3 months all in with the price. The best part is that they will GUARANTEE that you are on 1st page of Google or they will continue to work for free until you are! Can I just remind you that the talents of our SEO guys are so immense that Microsoft requested their services - now that is demand.

If you want to be part of this & have your company reap the rewards from 1st page of Google exposure (as well as being featured in a UAE-Compare video testimonial where your company will receive worldwide exposure for free) please email: seo@uae-compare.com

Hope to hear from you soon.

Complimentary service saving UAE companies time & money



Paul Brind - Account Manager

This is a long awaited complimentary service that has bred interest from day one as we now live in a money focused world. Not only is UAE Compare improving customer service, quality & cost; they are also bringing businesses hoards of suppliers that really have been put through a rigorous application & comparison process to ensure complete customer satisfaction at a price that’s right.

UAE Compare arose as a result of too many rogue traders slipping through too many nets. There are still companies today falling victim to service providers who promise the earth and deliver very little. We set about gathering together some of the UAE’s most recognised & trusted companies in an attempt to bring together a selection of the elite to help stamp out stress.

It is an incredible new concept that is giving the decision makers the right information about potential suppliers for their business – saving both time & money. UAE Compare is dedicated to providing numerous ‘tried & tested’ services for less – and hence we have received massive interest already.

Originally started as just a dream and words on paper, UAE Compare is now helping to improve quality of service throughout the UAE just 10 months on. To add that something special, every customer of UAE Compare will benefit from an ‘Exclusive Offer’ from every single one of our suppliers – guaranteeing you a better deal than if you go direct or through any other means.

Here is an example offer that you WILL NOT GET ANYWHERE ELSE!

Visit our site UAE Compare for a full list of services.

Don’t make your blog a slog


Everybody’s doing it or threatening to do it. Some are personal blogs and some are written about interests or hobbies. These are relatively straight forward and it’s easier to write about things we like so much. Business blogging tends to be dreaded a little more. It shouldn’t be. It’s time to take a more relaxed view. Don’t make you’re bog a slog.

There are five areas to address to overcome any anxiety:
• Fundamentals of business blogging
• Getting Started
• Using a blogging platform
• Attracting followers
• Business benefits of blogging

It’s useful to understand some of the fundamentals around business blogging. These are best highlighted in answering a number of questions:

• Can it be used as a marketing tool?
• Are there any personal benefits?
• Who is my audience?
• Is it cost effective?
• What’s the difference between a website and a blog?
• What is a blog?
• Does the Google search engine like blogs?
• What are the common mistakes of business blogging?
• Any good tips?

We’ll try to find answers to these questions in my next blog post.

The first step is always the hardest. So how do we get started? Is there any help available? What are those first few steps? For many people the biggest issue is what to blog about. We’ll go into more details later. But for now writing about your expertise or those subjects you are passionate about will inspire you more. Tell great stories – we all love story tellers. Also try to answer those issues that commonly arise from customers and employees for example. More later...

Do you need to be a geek to set up your blog? I’ve set up a few blogs at Blogger.com – a popular blogging platform. The answer is no. You can set up a nice design with images, embedded videos and social media links without any technical skills. More later...

Once we have a blog set up and we are posting content how do we get people to follow our regular posts? It’s all about creating good content, interaction with other bloggers, leveraging your connections on social media sites and utilising specialist blog search engines. More later...

Is it all worth the time and effort? As a social media marketing tool business blogging can add value is several ways. The benefits come from the interaction with stakeholders, building trust with prospective buyers, search engine optimisation and sharing with your network. More later...

We’ll have a look in more detail at all five areas to address to overcome any anxiety business blogging in the next few posts.

Would you like to be known as a thought leader in your industry?

A simple yes or no please.
