Hey all,

I am currently in the process of setting up an e-commerce business selling beauty tools and face oils and serums. It’s a very humble attempt at trying to build something that can work for me while I get to spend a lot more time with my child as compared to what I get as an ESL teacher.
Work is currently on the lower side and I want to take this time to focus on my business set up. That is unfortunately not possible for me to do at home with school summer holidays coming up. I am looking for B-Hive style free co-working spaces recos, if any. Have been to B-Hive but it gets filled up fast and it will be good to have a back up plan. I can also consider working at cafes that offer free wi-fi- I know these exist but have unfortunately never been to one, so I don’t know of any except French Bakery. Sadly, I don’t like the menu at FB enough to spend hours being there🥴
So any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi all! I am just starting off as a reseller/distributor of Indian skincare products in the UAE. I would appreciate your insights into understanding the feasibility of my business idea.

My plan is to resell/distribute Indian skincare in the UAE via Amazon/Noon and Instagram/Tiktok considering the massive South Asian diaspora. I don't want to invest in a website yet, so I will just secure the domain for now.

1. What do you think might work for and against me?

2. If you were me- someone who is just starting off- what one advice would you offer me?

3. What are some immediate redflags you notice with my plan?

Anything at all that you think I should know about reselling/ distribution in the UAE would be great help.
