Profitable Business Ideas in Dubai

Dubai – A name that appears to many people on the planet as a dreamland that has several unique opportunities to be offered to businessmen and women. Dubai is a business-thriving emirate and is a part of UAE. It has a unique advantage of location on the global map. This location advantage provides it an opportunity to reach more than a billion people from neighbouring countries on this planet. Zero income tax, 200 plus nationalities of people residents, high class educational and healthcare facilities and sound law and order situation make it more attractive for people to relocate here with families. For anyone to live and settle here in UAE, the first thought that comes to mind is what he or she should do to earn a living and create wealth in the long run. We as business set-up advisers, every single day face this question from potential clients which business he or she should start in Dubai? or which business has more potential to make money? Of course, the possibility of achieving success in any business is purely dependent on the management. We still try to figure out the following business opportunities which can be well established with minimum capital requirements and still provide a fair chance to grow bigger. All these businesses might require anywhere between AED 100,000* to AED 300,000* investment. 10 Highly Profitable Business Ideas in Dubai

1. Coffee Shop

This is a shop servicing coffee, tea and prepared sandwiches. It can be opened in a small shop around 200 sq.ft. This type of grab-and-go concept along with a few seats can be created with a low budget. Depending on the location of the shop, it can give an opportunity to run this business from morning breakfast till late night. Also, it might not need more employees. Once settled, this mainland license in Dubai also provides an opportunity to open coffee kiosks in different hotel lobbies or hospitals or universities. An investor can make a decent profit with the investment range from AED 200,000 to AED 300,000.

2. Cafeteria
