Turning Frustration into Opportunity

It all started with frustration, one that would ultimately inspire change.

Picture this: three individuals from completely different walks of life, each drawn to Dubai by the promise of opportunity and success. Two of us had crossed paths before, years ago in France, but life took us in different directions, until we found ourselves reunited in Dubai. And it was here, that we uncovered a shared frustration: we had all been burned.

Burned by company setup agencies that promised smooth processes and expert guidance but delivered confusion, delays, and costly mistakes instead. Some of us ended up with the wrong company setup entirely. We spent more money than we ever planned, lost valuable time, and when we needed help post-incorporation, the agencies vanished, directing us to “contact the free zone directly.”

It wasn’t just about the money or time we lost, it was the realization that these agencies weren’t solving problems. THEY WERE THE PROBLEM.

The Spark That Became LicenseMarket

Fast forward to the day the three of us came together. Each of us had traveled a unique journey, different industries, different struggles, but over countless conversations about the challenges of doing business in Dubai, one pain point kept surfacing: company setup. We couldn’t ignore it. We shared the same frustrations, and what’s more, we shared the same idea: “THERE HAD TO BE A BETTER WAY”.

That’s when LicenseMarket was born!

What if we could eliminate the middleman entirely? What if entrepreneurs could connect directly with free zones, ask the right questions, compare prices transparently, and make informed decisions, all in one place? We realized the solution wasn’t just possible; it was necessary.
