Why Fujairah DED for Business Consultancy?

There are several compelling reasons why Fujairah Mainland continues to attract business consultancy entrepreneurs from around the world.

The jurisdiction offers east coast port access, which is particularly valuable for business consultancy operations. Additionally, oil and shipping hub ensures that your business remains competitive in the regional market. Operating on the mainland allows you to trade directly with the local UAE market without restrictions, and you can bid on government contracts — a significant advantage over free zone entities. Office solutions start from AED 3,000 per year for a co-working, making it accessible for businesses of all sizes. Trade across the UAE further enhances the appeal of Fujairah DED for business consultancy professionals. Furthermore, cost-effective licensing positions your business consultancy business for long-term success in the region. With Fujairah continuing to invest in infrastructure and business-friendly regulation, Fujairah DED remains an excellent choice for both start-ups and established professional enterprises looking to expand into the Middle East and North Africa region.
