Relocation companies already provide this service, i.e. Equate Relocations

Not talking about a relocation company. Talking about a service to provide 6 months or so of help and advice...like this forum


As I said, certain relocation companies provide this support - orientation services, help finding schools, assistance getting memberships/cards/connections, etc.


but would they know the best place to go for a kebab, or where to find a red and white striped t shirt for a kids's costume day for example? More of a personal help than the initial schools, memberships etc


like a concierge service - Orientations relocation company in Singapore provided such a service, a phone number to call.....for no extra charge

You can subscribe to a concierge service like Allinque if you want someone to do one off jobs on your behalf, and for advice on anything from finding a kennels to a specialist/doctor who speaks a certain language.

I do agree that many relocation companies offer the 6 months follow up service 'free' too, I know both Crown and In Touch certainly do.

Hello ladies,,

I'm thinking of starting small business in dubai,,, but i really need good ideas for it..
Something people need ? Service that not availble or availble but the market can accommdate more?
Or product that not availble in Dubai and you will buy it?
I'm really out of ideas since i feel everything is already there .

Any idea will be really apreciated?






yes...wheely bin cleaning, I would love someone to swing by and clean mine, no maid you see. There is a UK franchise called wheely bin cleaning company....aso the Second Cup (coffee shop) have franchises available, and kitchenware company called Pantry Magic


I cannot believe this is a business ? Funniest thing I have heard all year!


'tis true. I used to have mine cleaned monthly for £1.75...they take the bin to a small van, which has all the washing equip in it, and then you can have it lined with a giant plastic bag if you like - weekly service available too

i guess you'd need to hire 2 x unlikely lads to actually do the legwork!

Live-out maids, full or part time, reliable, well-trained, full of initiative, sponsored by your agency, at a reasonable price to us, the "Madams".
