So I would have an edge in that respect. I have only been to Dubai once and I didnt get to see much in the way of good areas for an office/showroom.
Are there any other areas? Right now I'm looking into permits, licenses and registration process involved in opening a motor showroom in Dubai. Does anyone know anything about this off by hand? I guess I should just be asking Root or TNT as they seem to be the only ones with knowledge and willing to help.
Any advice or knowledge is appreciated. Thanks!
Mr. Export Auto,
Just FYI... its not that ROOT & T.N.T. are the only ones knowledgeable and willing to help. There are others but everyone has their own area of expertise and everyone here helps everyone with whatever they can. Please be careful of the words that you use.
As for your intentions of setting up a showroom; as stated by ROOT that Sheikh Zayed Road is in fact the prime location for car showrooms in Dubai. You find all types of cars Luxury, Regular and Exotic. You Lexus, Ferrari, Toyota, Honda etc. all around here. But the rents are equally exotic if I may call that
.
Due to the fact that Burj Al Arab the tallest building being built and built fast on this road. I think you could be expecting anything close to a 100,000 +. My office is on the Sh. Zayed Road.
The other place that you could go to is Rashidya. There are a few showrooms around there too, Honda, Hyundai, Gargash (Mercedes).
Choice is yours. Its better if you come here for a visit. Look around the different places, hook up with some estate agents find out the rents and then go ahead with setting up. U must know your target market how big or small it is.
And where does your target market go to shop..
Am I making any sense. I hope that I am. Not really a businessman but from a Business Family.
