Hello. Hope you are doing well and your business turned out really well for you. I came across this post while researching how to start a home-based baking business in Dubai. I want to go about it legally and would really appreciate some guidance in this respect. Also, could you please let me know about the business consultant company you had to hire for your business setup? I'd really appreciate all the help you can lend me in this regard.

I'd say check with people who have a similar concept already in operation. One that comes to mind is Mama Kinwa, Home Bakery used to be one as well. Check out how they do/did it and see if that would suit you. @Observer1 : Whenever I need documents delivered, I use Parzel or a similar local courier. They cost around 20 aed and can do same and next day delivery.

Thank you very much Apricot, actually as a start I was not aware of all these loads of laws going around here and applied restrictively specially in Dubai, but after some searches here and there and asking around i ended up with a consulting company working on legalizing such processes to either have a 100% ownership of business of as you mentioned having an Emarati partner. Now I am calculating my budget and seeking for supplies info in order to decide which course i will step into! Appreciate it :)

i sadly left in order to re-locate to Dubai with my small family respecting my spouse's business. I will be harsh and say that giving up your successful cake business "back home" is the personal sacrifice you have made in order to ensure the further success of your husband's business. There are plenty of Emiratis who are happy to be 50% partners on paper to expats for an annual fee. Maybe you should find one of them if you want to conduct your business legally, in a purpose-built kitchen outside of your personal home. The fines for discovery of illegal businesses are very steep, you may also be whisked off in an unmarked car to the nearest police station for some questioning followed by hours of waiting (while they decide what to do with you), and the record of your fine and questioning not only appears on your residence visa but also on that of your sponsor, ie your dear husband. All of this has happened to a close expat friend, who was held for several hours until the immigration authorities realized that the wanted person was another person with same name and nationality. Afterwards, it took more than a year for my friend to clear his name of the mistaken charge, during which time he was always held for questioning and waiting at the airport's immigration detention room as the authorities' computer system had a black mark next to his residence visa number. If you think that your gender as woman or status as mother of young children will gain leniency, there is a cautionary tale in the ExpatWoman archives of a Western expat mother who was breast-feeding her 2 month baby (no formula) yet she was held in an Abu Dhabi police station for nearly 2 days before her husband was allowed to take her home on bail. Be careful.
