For Sheldon Labuschagne, success lies in understanding Dubai’s regulatory and economic landscape.

As the CEO of Knightsbridge Group, I’ve seen how the city’s business environment is constantly changing, with government initiatives like Dubai Vision 2030 shaping future opportunities. Those who stay informed and learn to adapt can ensure the all-important competitive edge.
Regulatory compliance and transparency are non-negotiable. Dubai has strict financial and corporate regulations, and adherence to these not only ensures legal standing but also builds confidence among your clients.
Relationships are also a key pillar of success here. Business in Dubai thrives on trust and reputation so establishing credibility with everyone you deal with is paramount. That means networking and maintaining a client-centric approach – it not only creates loyalty but also referrals.
Thinking about the kind of services you want to offer and how those fit the market is of course critical. For example, in Dubai offering comprehensive services that cater to HNWIs and businesses adds significant value. Then there’s the question of how you will deliver these services, and leveraging technology to streamline operations and enhance customer experience can ensure both efficiency and scalability.
I do think Dubai rewards ambition, but success here requires strategy, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. By focusing on these principles, you can unlock significant growth opportunities in one of the world’s most dynamic marketplaces.
