Begin Your 90-Day Journey →Five parallel workstreams compress your Gulf market entry from 18 months to 90 days.

Primary focus on Saudi Arabia and UAE, with active presence across the wider GCC.
The largest FMCG and food market in the GCC. 35M+ population, rapidly growing retail, and Vision 2030 driving consumer market expansion. Established distributor relationships across Riyadh and Jeddah.
A gateway to the entire Gulf and a premium consumer hub. Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer hypermarkets, pharmacy chains, e-commerce infrastructure, and free trade zone advantages.
Ideal expansion targets following initial KSA or UAE success. Our regional distributor network covers all GCC states. Bahrain also available.
We believe in transparency. Here's what's happening right now — real engagements, not made-up numbers.
Currently managing buyer introductions and margin analysis for a European consumer brand targeting UAE retail chains. Distributor shortlisting underway with active interest from two regional partners.
We're onboarding two European FMCG brands this quarter under our pilot programme. Zero upfront fees — we only earn when we close a Gulf distribution deal. Full market entry support included.
Saudi Vision 2030 is driving massive retail expansion. European FMCG imports to the GCC grew significantly in 2025. Premium European brands command a 25-40% price premium over regional alternatives. The window is open.
We don't hand you a report and walk away. We stay as your extended Gulf team, monitoring performance, managing relationships, and driving growth quarter after quarter.
We represent one brand per product category in the GCC. No competing priorities — our commercial success is inseparable from yours.
Our team includes professionals with direct SFDA and ESMA experience, and former GCC retail buyers. We've been inside these processes — not just advising from outside.
We don't cold-call distributors on your behalf. Our relationships are already established — meaning introductions happen in weeks, not months.
Consulting firms can partner with us to deliver Gulf market entry research to their clients under their own brand. We provide the intelligence, you keep the relationship.
We're a new consultancy with deep Gulf market knowledge and a simple promise: we don't get paid until you do.
