Start-ups
Whether you are an overseas organization in the health and life sciences sector seeking to establish a presence for the first time in the GCC region, looking to expand within the region, or aiming to set up a new business in your domestic market, BLK Partners is your comprehensive, full-service ‘one-stop shop’ for support throughout your journey.
For those looking to invest from outside the GCC region, the initial steps can seem particularly daunting as you navigate legal and cultural issues that may be unfamiliar. Our step-by-step approach is designed to help you at a pace that you find comfortable, to demystify all aspects of establishing operations in the region, and to make you feel at ease in an unfamiliar environment. Factors influencing your choice of incorporation, business structure, and licensing requirements may differ significantly from what you are accustomed to in your home country. We are here to listen to your ambitions, understand your needs, and work with you to make informed decisions, ensuring that your initial steps into the region provide a solid foundation for success.
