Dubai Expansion Support: Establishing a Corporate Hub for Middle East Growth

This article is based on an interview with a client who received our support. By sharing their candid experiences—starting from the initial decision to pursue overseas expansion through the post-launch phase—we aim to provide readers with a realistic view of what “overseas expansion” truly entails.

Challenges Prior to Overseas Expansion

Our business in Japan was facing a downward trend, prompting us to explore new markets for sustainable growth. With intensifying competition and a shrinking population at home, simply maintaining our domestic operations was no longer sufficient. We urgently needed to identify overseas opportunities that could drive future growth.

Nevertheless, this was our first time venturing abroad. Lacking both the knowledge and resources necessary for international business, we were unsure how to proceed. Additionally, beyond seeking new revenue, we also wanted to implement effective tax strategies, which meant navigating different legal and tax systems to structure our operations advantageously.

Why We Decided to Partner with ABCD Inc.

While researching potential paths, we discovered the overseas expansion support services offered by ABCD Inc. We found Dubai particularly appealing due to its favorable tax environment and excellent access to other Middle Eastern and African markets. Yet establishing a local entity, hiring staff, and securing visas all appeared to be complex tasks requiring significant expertise.

ABCD Inc. stood out to us as a partner capable of providing the specialized knowledge and hands-on assistance we needed—thanks to their experience helping businesses set up and operate in Dubai. Convinced that their support would enable a smooth launch in this new market, we decided to engage their services.

Impressions After Implementation

The support ABCD Inc. offered exceeded our expectations. They guided us meticulously through the company registration process, explaining the local legal framework and all required documentation in detail. This ensured we could complete our incorporation without delays or complications.

When recruiting local talent, ABCD Inc. offered valuable insights into Dubai’s labor market, helping us find individuals who understood both the culture and our business vision. Similarly, the visa application process—typically a source of stress—was handled efficiently, thanks to their up-to-date knowledge of Dubai’s latest requirements.

Throughout, ABCD Inc. addressed every question and concern with care, allowing us to focus on our business goals rather than administrative hurdles. Their attentive, transparent approach gave us the peace of mind to move forward with confidence.

Results After Implementation

As a result, we successfully established our new entity in Dubai and recruited local talent who are already contributing to our growth. We’ve also been able to leverage Dubai’s favorable tax regime to optimize our operational costs and enhance profitability.

This has allowed us to look beyond the declining domestic market and gain a foothold abroad, creating a vital new revenue stream. Further, from our base in Dubai, we’re now positioned to explore other markets in the Middle East and Africa.

Overall, working with ABCD Inc. made us realize the genuine potential for growth in overseas markets. We plan to continue collaborating with them as we take additional steps toward global expansion. Our positive experience in Dubai has bolstered our confidence and laid the groundwork for sustained development—both at home and internationally.
