BCB March Newsletter

23 Mar, 2017 - UAE Life & Economy

 

Good Morning

The UAE is a welcoming place with a conducive business environment, but UK companies need help to navigate the market, optimise opportunities and mitigate risks.

This, of course, is why the BCB was established however, we can’t do it all on our own!

So, we have developed an extensive network of ‘people who can’. This includes lawyers, banks, hotels, accountants, due diligence specialists, marketing agencies etc. If it’s not (yet) on the list and you need it, just give us a couple of days…

In this month’s update we highlight a success story where we helped one of our tech sector clients raise significant capital in the UAE and we touch on our partnership with Santander UK, which is also bearing fruit for UK exporters.

Regards,
Joe
