Arrival

By the time you land, the entity exists, the licence is issued and the bank is expecting you.

Introduction

The partners, distributors and bankers who decide whether an entry works are known to us personally.

Duon is a private firm in Dubai.

We establish, research and operate in the United Arab Emirates for a small number of clients entering this market — and we invest in this market ourselves.

We do not publish our clients. What we do is set out below, precisely. Who we do it for is not.

Research

Conducted in person. We interview the customers, the channel and the competition, in this market, before advising on it.

    Customer and channel interviews, pricing and demand testing, supplier and distributor diligence.

  3. 03
    Introduction and negotiation

    Partners, distributors and first customers identified, approached and negotiated with on your behalf.

    Interim management on the ground

    Somebody accountable here while the entity finds its feet, reporting to you.

  5. 05
    Investment

    Positions in businesses entering or operating in the UAE, held with a seat at the table and a hand in the operating decisions.

  6. 06
    Property, held

    A residence in Dubai, held and let directly by the principal.

Property

Acquired, held and operated. The same market we advise on, with our own capital in it.

Property

The market we advise on is the one we own in.

The firm's principal holds a residence in Dubai and lets it himself. No managing agent, no intermediary, and the same market we put clients into.

Position

We invest where we advise. We are not visiting.

The firm

One principal, and no bench.

The person who takes the meeting is the person who does the work, and the person whose own money is in this market. When this page says a partner or a banker is known to us personally, that is who is meant.

Specialists are brought in per mandate: corporate service providers, legal and tax counsel, banking contacts, operators already trading here. What does not happen is a mandate sold by one person and delivered by someone you have not met.
