Dubai’s Global Business Vision Finds a Home in London

Over the past decade, Dubai has taken deliberate steps to expand its role in the global economy. Through a combination of infrastructure development, regulatory reforms, and targeted economic strategies, the emirate has worked to attract international investors and businesses. The launch of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), which aims to double the size of Dubai’s economy over the next ten years, is the latest in a series of efforts to strengthen its position as a hub for commerce and investment.

Now, as part of this broader strategy, Dubai Chambers has taken a significant step toward internationalization by establishing its first-ever international outpost: Dubai Hub London .

Located in one of the world’s foremost financial centers, the London hub is designed to act as a seamless bridge between the UK and Dubai, providing businesses and individuals with access to vital services they would otherwise need to travel for.
What is Dubai Hub London?

Dubai Hub London is an integrated service center created to assist UK-based investors, companies, and individuals looking to enter or expand into the Dubai market. Operated by Al Burj Holding as a licensed government service outsourcing center, and supervised by Dubai Chambers, the hub brings together several key Dubai government services in one location.

Rather than functioning as a government office, Dubai Hub London operates as a licensed advisory and facilitation center. Its role is to help clients understand, navigate, and execute official transactions with Dubai-based entities confidently and efficiently — eliminating confusion, delays, or the need to travel.

According to Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers:

“We are focused on enhancing Dubai's global competitiveness and ensuring seamless service access for our international clients. The launch of Dubai Hub sends a strong message: making business easier for global investors is our top priority.”

Full Suite of Integrated Services Available at the Hub
In its initial phase, Dubai Hub London will provide a comprehensive menu of services from four key Dubai government departments, with more to be added in later stages.

Dubai Land Department (DLD):

• Property appraisal
  
  
• Modification and updating of property data
  
  
• Issuance of maps and related documents
  
  

Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET):

• Trade name reservation
  
  
• Commercial license issuance
  
  
• License renewals and amendments
  
  

Dubai Courts:

• Contract attestation
  
  
• Signature verification
  
  
• Document translation
  
  
• Certificate creation
  
  
• Declaration registration
  
  

General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs:

• Services related to visas, residency, and identity documentation
  
  

In addition to these, the hub will also collaborate with top Dubai-based real estate developers to offer tailored property investment opportunities to UK-based clients.

As the project scales, more government entities and services will be included, expanding coverage into property, licensing, legal, residency, and administrative procedures.
Why London, and Why Now?
The choice of London as the first international location is strategic and symbolic. As a long-established global financial capital with a diverse and influential investor base, London offers direct access to a wide network of potential investors and business leaders.

Dubai Chambers believes this move will:

• Strengthen bilateral trade and investment ties between the UK and UAE
  
  
• Enhance Dubai’s visibility among European entrepreneurs and investors
  
  
• Provide immediate access to support services for those looking to enter Dubai’s dynamic market
  
  

It also aligns closely with the broader Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), which emphasizes international expansion, economic diversification, and the ease of doing business.

A New Kind of Support for International Investors
While Dubai Hub London is not a government entity itself, it acts as a trusted, certified link between UK residents and Dubai’s government systems. The center's mission is to provide clear, personalized guidance for:

• Real estate transactions
  
  
• Business setup and licensing
  
  
• Visa and residency procedures
  
  
• Legal document handling and notarization
  
  
• Investor services
  
  
• Family relocation and educational support
  
  

By bringing these services under one roof, and offering them in the heart of London, Dubai Chambers is creating a frictionless experience for investors who wish to expand into one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.

A Practical Link for Investors and Individuals in the UK
As noted earlier, while Dubai Hub London is not a government body, it operates as a certified intermediary that connects UK-based individuals and businesses with official channels in Dubai.
The center provides practical guidance on a range of matters including real estate transactions, business establishment, visa and residency procedures, legal documentation, and other administrative processes.
By offering these services in London, the hub aims to make it easier for clients to complete necessary steps without the need to travel to Dubai, improving accessibility and reducing complexity in cross-border dealings.
