Why are so many UK entrepreneurs and business owners moving to Dubai and the UAE?

In this episode of my podcast, I sit down with Dr. Ahmed Al Zaiter — founder & CEO of SGP Capital Holding AG in Switzerland — to uncover the real reasons behind the UK-to-UAE business migration wave.

We discuss:
🔹 What’s driving UK entrepreneurs to relocate
🔹 Tax, lifestyle, and safety — which factors matter most
🔹 How the relocation process really works (Golden Visa, Investor Visa, etc.)
🔹 The impact on the UAE’s economy and future sectors set to boom

If you’re a UK entrepreneur, investor, or expat considering Dubai, this conversation will give you clarity, practical advice, and a glimpse of the future of business in the Emirates.
