International Companies are finding a Market in the GCC
Business conducted in the Middle-East, is vastly different than traditional business in Europe or the United States. Often times tier 2 or 3 companies find themselves lost, or unnoticed when trying to secure business in the rapidly developing markets of the Gulf Cooperation Council (The United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). Only very high profile companies will find it simple to arrange and conduct business on their own. Smaller, less well known entities need an edge, need to know, and need to be informed in order to see real successes. There are many ways in which business is conducted in the Middle-East, there are many tax laws that are beneficial, and there are new cities being built for the express purpose of bringing in foreign business. Likewise the savvy investor who is looking to secure investments in the Middle-East needs to understand the region, the markets, and the structure of business.
Why do Middle-East markets loose substantial value in the summer? How are monies handled, transferred, and accounted for? What tax implications are there for personal investment or business revenue, and how does it vary from country to country? What are free trade zones/ports and how does one utilize them? What is an investment or business authority, and how does that differ from a traditional partnership with a local or business sponsor? How can one secure the ability to tender on multimillion dollar projects? If you feel uninformed on these issues and are seeking to do business in the Middle-East, you have come to the right group, Sebis International.
