How I help

Nine services, three tracks, each one a spec sheet.

Every sheet shows who it is for, how long it takes, what it costs from and what the first package includes. Pick the code and message me. If none of them fits, send me the situation and I will say which one I would start with.

Each service targets a specific commercial problem, has a defined scope and delivers a clear output. No retainers with vague deliverables. No open-ended engagements without defined endpoints.

The services

Three tracks. Every price on the page.

Who each service is for, how long it takes, what it costs from and what the first package includes. Open any card for the full scope.

Track 1: Market Entry & Growth

For businesses entering the GCC or trying to find commercial traction after setting up.

Delivered by me

Prices fromAED 3,500

Every engagement starts with a specific commercial problem. I do not offer open-ended advisory. Each service has a defined scope, a deliverable and a timeline, so you know exactly what you are getting before any money changes hands.

The services are sequenced by readiness level. Businesses that do not yet know which GCC market to enter start with the GCC Market Presence Review. Businesses that have already entered the UAE or KSA but are not growing predictably start with the GCC Growth Diagnostic. Formation is handled through Track 2 once the market decision is confirmed.

Track 2: Business Formation

Register your company in UAE, KSA, USA, or UK: the right structure, the right jurisdiction, done properly.

Delivered through Absher Business

Formation is handled through Absher Business once the market decision is confirmed. Business formation in the UAE completes in 13 to 20 working days through Absher Business; KSA, USA and UK have their own timelines on each sheet. Prices are quoted by Absher Business on request.

Track 3: AI Operations

For UAE and KSA businesses ready to automate their highest-cost manual processes: diagnosed, designed, and delivered end-to-end.

Audit by me, builds by partners

Prices fromAED 6,500

Track 3 addresses a different problem: not which market to enter or how to structure your entity, but how to operate more efficiently once you are in the market and growing. The Gulf AI Operations Setup is a project-based engagement that diagnoses which processes in your UAE or KSA business are costing the most in manual time, designs the automation and manages the build, using no-code tools your team can maintain after the project closes.

The audit (AED 6,500, 5 working days; what is worth automating first) produces an AI Operations Roadmap showing exactly which processes to automate, which tools to use and what it will cost to build. Builds follow from the roadmap: AED 7,500 to 10,000 per automation, quoted by the delivery partner.

Who this is for

Three types of clients, one way of working.

The services reflect patterns from real engagements, not frameworks from a business school textbook.

01

The UAE business reconsidering its footprint

A UAE-based business reconsidering its GCC commercial footprint. Boards and investors are asking about geographic concentration, and the question is which other market to enter and when.

02

The international company entering the Gulf

Typically European, American, or South or Southeast Asian. It wants a commercial presence in the Gulf and needs someone who knows both the market and the setup process from the inside.

03

The growth-stage founder in the UAE or KSA

Commercial traction, but growth has plateaued and the problem is not effort. The commercial infrastructure is missing.

Market entry advisory versus a generalist

Most market entry firms in the Gulf offer one of two things: a market report or a company formation service. Neither answers the practical question of whether your specific business model, client type and commercial approach will work in a specific GCC market at this specific moment. That is what the advisory services here are designed to answer, with specificity, not a generic country ranking.

I have worked through 142+ engagements across the UAE, KSA and other markets and built a partner channel of 55 registered partners. The services reflect patterns from those engagements.

What the pricing reflects

Structured, time-bound and commercially accountable scopes. The GCC Market Presence Review starts from AED 3,500 and runs as a 90-minute session. The GCC Growth Diagnostic starts from AED 12,000 and takes 3 weeks. Business formation in the UAE completes in 13 to 20 working days through Absher Business. Every price on this site is the price on the sheet; nothing is quoted higher later.

Track 1, Track 2, Track 3.

How an engagement runs

Four steps, the same every time.

You will know the price and the scope before anything is built. Nothing starts without a one-page proposal.

  1. Message

    On WhatsApp. I reply within one working day.

  2. First call

    30 minutes, free. I tell you what I would build first.

  3. Scope and price

    A one-page proposal. Fixed price from the stack.

  4. Build

    Weekly calls, async in between.

What I will tell you on the first call

Three answers, in 30 minutes, before any money changes hands.

  • Which market to enter first, UAE or KSA, and why for your business.
  • Whether to form the company before or after the first client.
  • What not to spend on yet.

This is not for you if you want a report and no follow-up.

Why the first call is free

I would rather spend 30 minutes finding out that the fit is wrong than sell a session to the wrong person. If I am not the right person for the work, I will say so on the call and point you elsewhere.
