At Prism 7 Resourcing, our mission has always been to connect talent with opportunity. While we’re proudly rooted in the UK and continue to support the domestic workforce, our reach has expanded globally through our sister company — Prism 7 Corporate Services — based in the heart of Dubai. With offices in both the UK and the UAE, and over two years of operational experience in the Emirates, we are uniquely positioned to support individuals and businesses navigating opportunities across both regions.
This article aims to provide valuable insights for UK professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners who are considering a move to the UAE — whether for career advancement, business expansion, or lifestyle enhancement. We understand that relocating or expanding overseas is a major decision, which is why we leverage our dual presence and expertise in both markets to ensure a smooth and informed transition for our clients. Read on to discover why the UAE is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for UK expats — and how Prism 7 Corporate Services can support your journey.
The UAE's tax-free personal income policy is one of its biggest draws for UK professionals. By eliminating income tax, expats can significantly increase their take-home pay. For consultants, high-earning professionals, and entrepreneurs, this means greater financial freedom and accelerated wealth accumulation.
The Emirates, especially Dubai and Abu Dhabi, are global hubs for industries such as fintech, logistics, AI, real estate, aviation, and renewable energy. With ongoing investments in smart cities and innovation, skilled professionals with international experience are in high demand.
The UAE offers over 40 Free Zones and various business structures allowing 100% foreign ownership. This business-friendly approach, combined with modern infrastructure and supportive regulations, positions the UAE as an ideal place to start or scale a business. Prism 7 Corporate Services simplifies the process with end-to-end support on license selection, legal documentation, and governmental approvals.
Sitting at the intersection of Europe, Asia, and Africa, the UAE offers easy access to over two-thirds of the global population within an 8-hour flight. This geographic advantage makes it a strategic location for logistics, e-commerce, and international operations.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi provide exceptional living standards, with premium healthcare, international education, and diverse lifestyle options. From luxury dining to serene desert escapes, the UAE blends comfort and adventure. A strong expat community also ensures a welcoming environment for UK citizens.
Families relocating from the UK will find top-tier British and international schools in the UAE. Combined with safe neighbourhoods and family-friendly amenities, the country supports a balanced and fulfilling family life.
Ranked among the safest countries in the world, the UAE's strong rule of law, low crime rate, and stable governance make it a secure choice for both individuals and businesses.
From the Golden Visa to investor and retirement residency schemes, the UAE is investing in retaining top global talent. These visas provide greater flexibility and long-term security for expats.
The UAE's commitment to digital transformation is evident in its smart city initiatives, paperless government systems, and robust tech ecosystem — enabling seamless digital experiences for residents and businesses.
With over 200 nationalities calling the UAE home, expats benefit from cross-cultural experiences, global networking, and a unique blend of Eastern and Western influences.
