Licences are paid for, the office is open, the team is hired and the centre has been profitable since April 2026. - The market is closed by licence.

Over the past year 12 unlicensed offices, 77 websites and 230 social media accounts were shut down. - The money funds utilisation, not construction. The centre's capacity is built and paid for; one constraint remains – client flow. - Recurring revenue. The client stays for the full term of the worker's contract. - The category ceiling is proven. The largest UAE operator under the same licence makes about USD 104M a year, per commercial industry databases. MARKET - The UAE has more than 146,000 active domestic worker visas; licensed centres register over 18,000 new contracts a year. - The target base in Dubai alone is about 175,000 families earning from AED 25,000 a month (company estimate). - The AED is pegged to the US dollar.
