Line C · Business plans
Not a translated Canadian plan. A plan built for the UAE.
UAE banks ask new companies for a credible business plan, proof of substance and a clear source of funds. A plan written for the UAE shortens that step — and tells you whether the business works here.
Three readers
One document that works for you, your bank and the authorities.
01
You, the founder
A realistic view of the UAE market, costs in dirhams and the point at which the business breaks even.
02
Your bank
Substance, expected transaction profile, counterparties and countries — written the way UAE onboarding teams ask for it.
03
DET, free zones, Golden Visa
Where an authority needs to see a plan, it sees one that matches your licence activities.
What’s inside
Every chapter is UAE-specific.
| Chapter of your plan | What makes it UAE-specific |
|---|---|
| Market and customers | UAE and GCC market size, customer segments, purchasing habits, B2G and B2B procurement, Arabic-language needs. |
| Licence fit | Each revenue line mapped to a licensed activity, so the bank and the regulator see a business the licence actually allows. |
| Go-to-market | Local partners and distributors, agency rules, trade shows (GITEX, Arab Health, Gulfood and others), pricing in AED. |
| Operations and people | Premises and Ejari, visa quota, salary benchmarks, end-of-service gratuity, WPS payroll, Emiratisation where it applies. |
| Tax and compliance | Corporate tax at 0% / 9%, free-zone qualifying-income tests, VAT, transfer pricing between your Canadian and UAE companies, beneficial-owner and AML duties where relevant. |
| Financials | Three-year projections in AED, set-up and running costs, funding and source of funds, break-even. |
| Bank-readiness | Substance, expected transaction profile, counterparties and countries, presented the way UAE banks’ onboarding teams expect. |
