When is the right time to open an office in Saudi Arabia? 🇸🇦 Many companies, urged by lawyers and consultants, rush to open offices in Saudi Arabia, hoping to gain access to new clients and tenders 💼. However, many of these hopes go unrealized. To participate in local tenders, you need local experience, and without it, you won’t even qualify 🚫. The best approach to starting in Saudi is by partnering with local companies 🤝. These partners typically charge a commission of 5 to 10% for managing your contracts. This way, you avoid risks while benefiting from their local expertise, making you better prepared for tenders 📄. The right time to open your office is when the commissions you pay to partners exceed the cost of running your own office 🏢. For example, if you’re an IT company and your annual office cost is US$100,000, the ideal time to open your own office is when your business with local clients through partners surpasses US$1 million 💡. #SaudiArabia  #Vision2030  #SaudiInvestments  #SaudiEconomy #SaudiOpportunities  #SaudiBusiness

Family Offices Are The Talk Of Town Lately! 👇  There are now more billionaires than ever. Richer than ever. Worth over US$14.2 trillion in aggregate and the number is going up only. How these ultra wealthy individuals and families manage this money?  They create Family Offices. Family offices in the world have tripled since the pandemic reaching 4,592 globally and this boom is massive. This once-overlooked segment of the wealth-management industry, is now the talk of town. With this huge growth, family offices are now changing their investment preferences. They're moving away from the simple stocks & bonds model to alternative asset classes like private equity, venture capital, hedge funds... North America holds the largest share of family offices worldwide. However, it seems that United Arab Emirates is becoming their next favourite destination. Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital is attracting some of the biggest family offices from all around the globe because NOW IS THE TIME! Abu Dhabi Family Office Summit is playing a key role by creating new opportunities for partnership, investment, innovation and social good. After 3 successful family office events, ADFO Summits is preparing for the 4th edition that we aim to organise later this year in December. Announcing the date for ADFO Summit 4.0 soon!

Thoughts of The Gatekeeper... - Trini Time in an International Environment - Addressing another Elephant in the room! The concept of being "on time" is generally skewed in today's society. We in Trinidad and Tobago are culturally sensitive to the notion of Trini Time which in most cases means late. While this may work in informal and relaxed settings, professionally, it speaks volumes. It has been said that time is money..so it is only reasonable to conclude that respect for someone's time redounds to a beneficial interaction. So lets delve further...what is "on time"? Generally speaking, for large meetings and engagements which require logistical support ie seating, filling out forms, and providing information, "On time" can reasonably be thirty (30) minutes before the indicated start time. For more intimate settings and certainly in respect of meetings with persons on The Table of Precedence, I strongly recommend your "on time" be, for the latest, fifteen minutes before the stated appointment time. This allows for the necessary checks to be conducted. Of course, there may be differing opinions on this matter but think of it this way...Being on time is a sign of respect, it signals how we value the person with whom we are meeting. Soooo....on the next occasion that we are to be "on-time" let us ask: Is this a formal occasion? Am I meeting an office holder? Do I respect this individual? Another 🐘 Elephant addressed... Off to watch The Gate!
