Hi, my daughter is 2,5 years old. we try to put her in nursery for sometimes, but again she is sick for almost 2 weeks. I try to found the right maid but they are really demanding. right now i do have 1 house maid but again she said she can not come , there always family problem she has. until now i still keep trying to found the right maid. i do try by keeping my daughter in day care, but really its very exhausted and end up we will always fighting because i fell my hubby never cooperate in household things(cleaning etc) So right now we decided that hire a housemaid is the best solution at least i don't have to worry about cleaning the house beside my daughter care.

Thank you so much ladies this information has been very helpful ????. I am planning to open an e commerce website selling party supplies. I believe I can set up a virtual office from Ajman which seems to be the cheapest free zone. HI Summeya, Keep in mind when you have e-commerce license you can not have the product with you and deliver to the client. E-commerce basically selling voucher or ticket like dealgobbler or cobone. the customer will print the voucher and present it to the company stated in the voucher. If you want to have the product and deliver to the customer i recommend you to open a general trading License.

HI Sumeyya, To set up a business there are few option to consider, the most important where would you like to set up the company. Is it a free or non-free zone. In free zone allow you to have 100% ownership while in non-free zone or most people said LLC Company is limited you to 49% shareholder only means you need a local sponsor with 51% shareholder. oh ya I can help you in setting up your company , i work in one of business consultant in Dubai and we are work in various free zone and DED here.

Why do people have kids and then only later wonder how to pay for them? Not to be mean, but you've got to think things through! You can send your child to one of the less expensive schools in Sharjah or something like that. Sorry ladies i guest there is misunderstanding, what i saying is her university education fund. she is 2 years old now. I want her can choose any university later on when she is 17 years old and have no problem with school fee. edited by sophia2012 on 20/11/2014 You can check on one of those insurance investment plans which requires monthly deposits ( you can start with AED 1500 and increase if you wants later and let's say after 10 years you can withdraw amount with profits ( I've taken one thru one of local banks, which provides life insurance for me and my husband, critical illness, hospitalization). You can choose different tenure 10 to 25 years. Alico has also one of those plans but there were some many inconvenient conditions so we opt for local uae insurance company HI Moon, can you tell me what is the name of the local banks that you have right now? thank you :)

Why did you say [i'>here in Dubai[/i'>? The best instates are not here. However for the best education, it would be better to send her abroad. I do not know that your DH will ever reach a level where the co. pays for university, as I have never heard of this. Ever. edited by Londiamond on 20/11/2014 hi londiamond, i am planning to put her abroad because as you can see here in Dubai School fee is quite ridiculous.

Hi Sophia2012 - this is very forward thinking of you! I would put a little money aside every month, perhaps into a high interest (or as high as you can find) savings account or fixed deposit. the earlier you start, the more you will have once your child turns 18. If you have a fixed sum that you would like you have saved by the time your child turns 18, there are calculators online that will work out how much you should be saving every month. As with retirement saving, saving more in the early years is much better than saving in the later years. you could speak to a financial advisor but I would say be careful about signing up for the life insurance savings products offered by most companies here, as the fees are really high and the funds can be quite risky. Good luck! Yes KH, do you have any reference financial advisor? I come across that ADCB Bank has this program as well. Is it bank more reliable then any financial advisor?

Hi, i lived there for a few months when my husband was in business school there. I loved the place. I didn't get a job there because we only lived there a short time, although i did look into it and the job search didn't seem so different to in Dubai. I found it a great place to live - good weather, good food, good social scene, lots of great countries nearby to visit. Most negatives other people talked about were that as it's a very small island, you get claustrophobic after a couple of years, and that absolutely everything is regulated so you're not going to discover a little quaint hidden shop/restaurant etc.

The different between Freezone and DED License: A free zone license is going to give you 100% ownership of your company and give you complete control of your business. This is one of the biggest advantages and why many expats choose to setup in a free zone. There are 38 different free zones in the UAE and all of them offer different activities to choose from, different pricing and different amenities. You may be allowed to obtain a certain license in one free zone where you wouldn’t be allowed to obtain the same license in another. For example, you can get a General Trading license in many different free zones, but you cannot in the Meydan Free Zone as they specialize in Consultancy licenses. Before you choose a particular free zone, it is best to consult with them first and determine if your activity would be allowed. Free Zone company can also tend to be cheaper and be a quicker process to obtain whereas some of the quickest free zones in the UAE can process your license in just 2 working days. A DED (Department of Economic Development) Mainland license can also be beneficial because you would not limit yourself to one particular area. When you have this type of license, you are free to operate in any area of the UAE. While it is true that you would have to acquire a local Emirati sponsor who would have 51% ownership of your company, certain businesses work better with a DED Mainland license. For example, a Freight Forwarding company or a Catering company would be ideal in the DED Mainland so that you can offer your services anywhere in the UAE and not just in a particular zone. When you have a free zone license, you are allowed to operate only within that free zone but if you had a DED Mainland license, you would not be restricted to one area. The process for obtaining a DED Mainland license is quite different and a little more involved with more documentation needed to be signed. It can be a challenging process because not only do you have to sign these documents, so does your local Emirati sponsor and you would have to coordinate schedules for availability.
