  2. That you can leave the 9–5 and work for yourself.
  3. Upward is for entrepreneurs at heart, and for anyone who needs support to build their dream.
  4. Be bigger than the 9–5. Move upward.

For investors

Prefer to invest rather than operate? You can own any Upward business as an investor, and our team will set it up, hire the staff and manage it on your behalf.

Management is a separate agreement, with terms agreed for each business. Returns are not guaranteed.

        Starting in the UAE

        The UAE makes starting easy. We make it faster.

        The UAE is one of the simplest places in the world to set up a company, from Dubai and Abu Dhabi to Sharjah and the northern emirates, with free zone and mainland licences for almost any activity. What usually takes months comes after the licence: finding the right name, building the brand and getting a website live. Upward hands you all of that on day one, so you can spend your time on customers.

        Questions

        Good to know.

        Still curious? We’re happy to talk it through.

        What is Upward?

        Upward is a company in the United Arab Emirates that sells ready-made business infrastructure: .ae domains chosen for search, with finished, creative websites, logos and social media pages. Each business goes to one buyer only, for one payment.

        What exactly am I buying?

        The domain, a finished, creative website with basic SEO, a logo and brand guideline, and social media pages. After you buy, we make one round of edits to your requirements and give you free advice on company formation and bank accounts. It is not a registered company or a trade licence; you register those in your name.

        Can anyone else get the same domain?

        No. Upward holds every domain in the collection, registered through Tasjeel (tasjeel.ae). The only way to get one is to buy it from us, and each business goes to one buyer only.

        What is a premium domain?

        A premium domain matches what customers search for word for word, like mepdesign.ae or walltiles.ae. Names like these are rare, so we mark them as premium. Every domain in the collection is chosen to help you get found, premium or not.

        Will the domain put me first on Google?

        A name chosen for what people search for makes you easier to find, remember and choose, and every site launches with basic SEO. Rankings also depend on your content, reviews and time, so no one can promise a position.

        What happens to the domain and hosting after I buy?

        The domain moves to your own Tasjeel account, and you pay its yearly renewal. The website moves to your own web hosting, which you pay for. If you’d rather we host it for you, we can, for a fee.

        Are there monthly fees to Upward?

        No. You pay once. The only ongoing costs are your domain renewal and hosting, paid to those providers, unless you choose our hosting.

        Can I change the website?

        Yes. One round of edits is included: tell us what you need and we update the site for you. After that it’s yours to change, or we can make further changes per job.

        Do I need a trade licence?

        Yes. To trade in the UAE you need a licence for the right activity, and it is not part of what Upward sells. We give free advice on company formation and opening a business bank account, and can arrange it for you if you prefer.

        How long does the handover take?

        Usually within a few days. Moving the domain between Tasjeel accounts and moving the website to your hosting set the pace.

        Can you help me hire staff and market the business?

        Yes. We can help you find and hire the staff the business needs, and run your digital marketing: social media, search and paid campaigns. Both are optional services, priced per project. Each business page shows the minimum team we suggest to get started.

        Is every website already online?

        Yes. Every website in the collection is finished and online at its own domain. Each business page has a button to visit the live website.

        Can I invest without running the business myself?

        Yes. You can buy any Upward business as an investor, and our team will set it up, hire the staff and manage it on your behalf under a separate management agreement. Terms are agreed for each business, and returns are not guaranteed. Message us on WhatsApp to discuss it.

        Will it make money?

        None of our businesses comes with guaranteed income. Results depend on how you run it, and our services are there if you want help.

        What if none of the ideas suit me?

        Talk to us. We can help you shape an idea of your own that suits your skills and budget.
