Opening new Agency
Hello everyone! I’m writing to ask for your advice. My partner and I are planning to move to Dubai. We currently live between Italy and Spain, but we can't take it anymore—the bureaucracy, the taxes, the high cost of living without adequate services, and how dangerous the cities are (Milan and Barcelona) even for future children.
I’m a Senior Manager with a good salary, about 8/9k per month. She’s an Export Manager for a mid-size but worldwide famous luxury furniture company.
Her idea is to become an agent, directly managing the American and Middle Eastern markets and earning commissions rather than a fixed salary. This way, she would earn about 300/500k a year. Initially, I could ask my company for a transfer to Dubai and then, if all goes well, start working with her. We’ve read and asked locals that it’s very easy to open an agency in a free zone.
Has anyone here had a similar experience?
What do you think?
Thank you
