In the modern world, investment funds have become a key tool for business development. They allow you to accumulate capital, spread risk, support startups, and scale successful projects. If you're an investor from the United Arab Emirates, you may have wondered whether to open a fund at home or in the US. The answer is obvious: the US offers speed, flexibility, international trust, and tax advantages that are difficult to obtain in the UAE.

The UAE's advertising content market is highly regulated. This strict government oversight is driven by factors such as the UAE's robust consumer protection system, strong cultural norms, including Muslim traditions and customs, and the government's desire to streamline and systematize the media content industry to attract more investment, brands, and creative talent from around the world.

Many bloggers and influencers in the UAE with large, loyal, and solvent audiences seek to monetize their popularity and established authority through advertising and brand partnerships. However, in the UAE, advertising is strictly regulated by government agencies such as the Media Council, and unlike many countries, earning advertising revenue here requires meeting a substantial list of formal requirements.

In October 2025, the UAE government introduced a new document required for anyone publishing advertising in the country, whether paid for by a sponsor or published free of charge. For over three years, we have been assisting UAE entrepreneurs with all legal, tax, and banking issues through our Dubai office. This time, having learned of this change in advance, we alerted our clients, who were able to prepare for the new requirements. Let's explore together what this new advertising permit is and who it is intended for.

Medical tourism in the UAE is gaining popularity every year thanks to the high standards of its clinics, reasonable prices compared to the US and Western Europe, and the Emirates' policy of encouraging this development at the government level. For example, the Dubai government even created a separate free zone for medical activities – Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC) – to attract the best doctors and entrepreneurs in the medical field.

Our Dubai office is frequently contacted by clients who, for one reason or another, have been unable to file their corporate financial statements correctly. This is happening in light of the fact that in recent years, in pursuit of global recognition as a transparent and reliable jurisdiction, the UAE has introduced a number of restrictions in the areas of financial and accounting compliance and corporate reporting, such as the introduction of a corporate tax and, in general, tightened business regulations and rules.

Over the past few years, the UAE has transformed from a country with relaxed accounting requirements and lax reporting rules into a traditional, and therefore, fairly regulated, system. Fundamental changes to the country's laws, such as the introduction of corporate tax and mandatory IFRS reporting requirements, have, while making business in the UAE more transparent, simultaneously complicated business processes.
