Hello All,

If you live in Dubai, you’ve probably noticed a trend lately. Dubizzle and Facebook is currently flooded with traditional businesses for sale—cafes, barbershops, real estate brokerages, and retail spots. Local overheads are getting tough, and a lot of conventional physical businesses are feeling the squeeze and margins are seemingly becoming thinner.

Because of this, a lot of people are looking to invest outside the UAE into digital-first assets that can be scaled globally without the friction of local borders.

That’s exactly what I’m building, and I’m looking to raise $80,000 - $100,000 USD from 1 or 2 investors max.

The Structure & Legal To keep everything completely clean and secure for shareholders, this business is being set up as a brand new U.K. LTD. The product itself will also be manufactured and distributed globally straight from the U.K.

To protect everyone, we would start by signing a standard legal MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) to lock in the terms, followed by an official Shareholders' Agreement once the capital is deployed.

The Product & Unit Economics I won't give away the exact product IP in a public post, but it sits right between the global natural sweetener market (valued around $10 billion) and the functional wellness sector (projected to surpass $430 billion in 2026).

Massive Market, Zero Major Competitors: Despite the staggering size of the global wellness market, the premium sub-sector we are targeting is completely devoid of legacy competitors. We are stepping into an open lane with a highly engineered product that has no direct mainstream rival.

Near 80% Margins: The product has a very high perceived value, but our production costs keep predictive gross margins near 80%.

Lightweight Shipping: It’s a mass-market consumable, but the form factor is incredibly light. This means we can scale globally via D2C without shipping and logistics eating our profits.

Built for Ads: It has a highly visual, valid USP designed specifically to stop people from scrolling on paid social.

B2B Expansion: Beyond D2C, the product is perfectly formatted as a premium replacement/upsell for luxury Hotels, Restaurants, and Cafes (HoReCa).

The Execution For context on my background, I’m an e-commerce and PPC specialist. A previous venture of mine was a U.K.-based brand that I took from absolute zero to over $500,000 in revenue in its first 12 months.

In this venture, you provide the capital, and I handle literally everything else:

-Product ideation & market research
-Designing packaging and brand identity
-Acquiring legal certifications for our target markets
-Manufacturing and negotiating MOQs
-Building out the Shopify store
-Creating and scaling all marketing campaigns
-Fulfillment and global logistics
-All post-purchase customer care (handling the daily realities of refunds, exchanges, and inquiries)

Hello everyone,

If you live in or keep an eye on local business listings, you’ve probably noticed a trend lately. They are flooded with standard brick-and-mortar businesses for sale—cafes, barbershops, real estate brokerages, and retail spots. Local overheads are getting tough, and a lot of conventional physical businesses are feeling the squeeze.

Because of this, a lot of people are looking to invest outside their immediate borders into digital-first assets that can be scaled globally without the friction of local borders.

That’s exactly what I’m building, and I’m looking to raise $80,000 - $100,000 USD from 1 or 2 investors max. (Equity at 15% per 50K USD investment, and preferential principal payback from company profits prior to paying any dividends to any other shareholders)

Hello All,

I am from the U.K. and currently looking for an investor to jump on board to build an online brand from scratch. I have a lot of experience doing so myself, unfortunately it's always been in the capacity of an employee, I am at a stage where I would like some ownership in what I build. I can't share the brand name for liability purposes, however this was a U.K. based brand that I took from 0 with no previous online presence to over £400,000 in revenue within its first 12 months. For transparency this isn't net profit but you can imagine whats possible with the right product and experienced operator in place.

The reason I am posting this is that I am consistently seeing people on reddit, posting while looking to start/invest in businesses from the U.A.E, however from someone who's lived there, it's very difficult to buy and scale something original without a huge upfront investment. For example, how many cafeterias, convenience stores, car rental, chauffeur companies, beauty salons, barber shops, dry cleaning store, cleaning companies can you buy? These are saturated markets and the returns aren't great to be honest. The U.A.E does however have a very strong tax advantage which should be utilised.

An e-com brand can be scaled internationally (you would have to sell internationally predominantly U.K./US/EU if you want to hit the millions as the GCC market isn't large enough, and currently doesn't have the best supply chain/infrastructure for scaling a brand)

What I am proposing is transparency with a goal to hit the ground running and churn profit, no drop-shipping. I would be the minority shareholder as you are the investor. All I need is a respectable salary on a 12 month contract and some type of share from someone serious. Please respect I am being transparent so do not waste either of our time if you can't commit to what I have mentioned or just want to extract information. I will do everything else, from product ideation & market research, to designing packaging and acquiring legal certifications for the target market, to manufacturing and negotiating MOQ, to building the Shopify store, to marketing campaigns/strategies, to fulfilment, to post customer care (there are always refunds, exchanges and enquiries). As mentioned I have done this all before and have a few key, high potential ideas that can scale in a healthy profitable manner for at least 2-3 years. Most e-com brands have the final goal of being acquired by a larger company for a variable multiple.

Thank you and feel free to DM if the above suits you.

Hi everyone,

I am from the U.K. and like many on here, I’ve been navigating the current job market and observing how businesses are adapting to more cautious B2B and B2C spending. With the unique tax advantages available to UAE-based companies, there is an incredible opportunity right now for businesses to expand beyond immediate trade zones and unlock international revenue streams.

I am currently looking for a long-term Business Development/Marketing Manager role (minimum 12-month commitment) with a forward-thinking company that is ready to invest in its own growth and explore these untapped markets. Some key sectors I have experience in are e-commerce (as shown above, a brand I launched from scratch), Warehousing & logistics, along with FMCG goods.

If anything comes to mind, please do reach out.

Thank you.

I am currently looking for a long-term Business Development Manager role (minimum 12-month commitment) with a forward-thinking company that is ready to invest in its own growth and explore these untapped markets.

A bit about my situation and what I bring to the table:

• No Sponsorship Required: I already hold a valid Emirates ID.
• On-Site & Execution-Focused: I am looking for an in-person role where I can actively execute strategies and deliver measurable outcomes, not a remote or advisory position.
• Strategic Growth: I specialize in identifying bottlenecks, expanding trade borders, and building sustainable revenue streams.

If your business is currently looking to hire someone to drive international growth and overcome current market stagnation, I’d love to connect.

To show you what I can do, feel free to send me a DM with a brief overview of your current setup and your biggest bottleneck. I’d be happy to share a few high-level steps we could explore together.

Looking forward to speaking with anyone who is serious about taking their business to the next level.

Best regards,

Archie
