Episode Transcript

(00:00):
I'm back in Dubai and I'm stayingin Dubai Creek Harbor, which as you
know, or some of you will know, it'sone of my favorite places in Dubai.
I flew back to Dubai two weeks ago today.
And I've just been busy withthe new company out here.
Also helping with my business partnerback home with the finance company.
And I just thought I'd give a littleupdate into what I'm getting up to

(00:23):
at the moment and the sort of stuffthat's coming over the next few weeks.
Now some of you would have already seenthe video I put out about pivoting the
company that I set up here in Dubai.
And I'm going to put it up here for youif you want to have a look at that now.
Essentially I've come back to Dubaifrom London to sort out the company
and start getting the wheels in motion.
one of my first priorities isactually hiring a member of

(00:46):
staff, and that's something thatwe're currently looking for now.
So I'm out here to work on the companythat I set up here called Handlr Zone,
and essentially Handlr Zone comes offthe back of this channel really with the
amount of requests that I had for ongoingsupport in relation to people trying to
set up their companies and not reallyknowing where they can turn to, like

(01:06):
what's a trustworthy place or whatever.
So I've set up Handlr Zone and essentiallyall it does is offer a really simple
service to set up free zone businessesand residency visas here in Dubai.
And on top of that there'sgoing to be a range of support
available to some of the clients.
Now when I was back in London we'vealready set up a few clients out here in

(01:30):
Dubai and we're getting a number of leadsin long before we started advertising,
just because of this channel really.
anyway, the company's there and thepriority for me right now is hiring
another member of staff to help me workon building that up and making the service
really great for the clients and futureclients that's going to come on board.
So if you're interested in thattype of service to get a company
set up in Dubai and potentiallyyour residency visas as well.

(01:53):
visit handlrzone.com and fill in theeligibility questionnaire and that's it.
We'll have a look at your criteria andthen see if it's going to be something
that's suitable for you and your needsfor what you actually want to do.
In relation to the other stuff thatI'll be doing here in Dubai, I mean I've
already caught up with a few friendsthat I've met over the years, my friend
flew in from the UK, she's a privatejet pilot, another one who's now moved

(02:15):
here, relocated, their whole family,so I've caught up with them and also
some other people that I know in Dubai.
and what I'll be doing with this YouTubechannel, is I've been getting a lot of
requests and queries that have come upover the last year and a bit now, And
so over the next I don't know, few weeksprobably, I'm going to start putting

(02:35):
out videos in relation to the mostcommonly asked questions that people
are asking so that one, it can help mewith diverting people who are asking the
same sort of questions to this video sothat they can find the information that
they need before they make a decisionon whether or not it's right for them
to set up their company in Dubai,It's going to cover off some of those

(02:57):
misconceptions that people have, like acommon one that just having the company
set up in Dubai means they won't paytax regardless of where they live in the
world or whatever, which is not true.
Because that's what they'vebeen led to believe.
So we're going to coveroff some of that stuff.
I've got a list of 24 topicswhich keep coming up from people.
And so I'm going to try andcover as many of them as I can,

(03:20):
probably not do 24 videos, but
We'll see how it goes.
And for those of you who arenot that interested specifically
in Dubai, don't worry, it's notall going to be about Dubai.
After the most of the Dubai stuffis out the way, I'm going to start
just pure entrepreneurship orentrepreneurship related, like more
generalist stuff that's related to peoplewho are looking at entrepreneurship

(03:42):
and investing, particularly M&A.
and also I'm potentially looking atdoing some interviews with people and
I'm not sure who I'm going to start with.
it's not going to be like massivenames, but more of the people who
are less well known or maybe notknown at all, But they've excelled in
their area of whatever it is they do.

(04:02):
And if you might be interested in hearingabout that, let me know in the comments,
the types of people you're interested in,the types of topics you're interested in.
maybe is money, maybe it's investing,maybe it's like how to start
businesses, general entrepreneurship,about marketing or whatever, because
I know a wide range of peopleobtaining finance, all sorts of stuff.

(04:22):
Tell me some things thatyou might be interested in.
I want to start reaching out to afew people and see if I can get, sit
down conversation on the sofa withsomeone and really have, a deep dive
into conversations with them about howthey got to where they are today and
the sort of opportunities that theytook along the way or maybe missed.
that perhaps you might have comeacross similar and not really

(04:44):
exploring it to this full potential.
so basically that's the sort ofroute I want to go down, with
this channel at some point.
So anyway, for those of you who areinterested in setting up your business in
Dubai, subscribe now because I'm going tobe releasing quite a bit of content over
the coming weeks and months specificallyto do with Dubai and setting up companies

(05:05):
here and the stuff that you really doneed to know, the truth of it, so that
you can make informed decisions yourself.
that's me just giving you a quick updateon life and the fact I'm back in Dubai.
London is very cold, peoplewere putting up pictures of like
snowing yesterday in London.
Yeah, so, I don't know whyI keep looking over there.
Well, I do know why Ikeep looking over there.

(05:26):
I mean, basically, look, youprobably can't see outside.
I'm on the thirty thirdfloor of where I'm staying.
subscribe if you're interested, dothat now so you'll get notifications.
And if you're not that interested inthe Dubai stuff for now, don't worry,
still subscribe because there isgoing to be other stuff in relation
to entrepreneurship, investing,M&A, like general money stuff.

(05:50):
I don't really want to touch on politics.
I mean Labor's just got in it kind oflike triggered my exit of the UK again
their budget that they did those ofyou from the UK will know exactly what
i'm talking about what's going on.
They're not pro entrepreneurs.
Let's just say that and leave it at that.
Okay.
