Hi and welcome to GuideUAE.com.

My name is Muhammad Atif Mahmood, and this website is my way of sharing what I’ve learned about starting a business in the UAE. I started with just AED 1,000 in savings and no business degree, no investors, and no one to guide me. All I had was a dream, my laptop, and faith that I could figure it out step by step.

How It Started

A few years ago, I came to the UAE for my study visa. Things didn’t go as planned, and my visa got rejected. I could have gone back home, but instead I decided to stay and try to build something for myself.

With very little money, I looked at Amazon UAE as an opportunity. I had some basic knowledge, but no real experience. I learned everything online through YouTube, Google, and trial and error. My first sale came quickly, but I had no idea how to even fulfill it. That’s when I discovered Amazon EasyShip and started shipping orders from my small room in Dubai.

From that point, things slowly grew. Within six months, I had made over AED 100,000 in sales. Later, I registered my own company, opened a business account, and started to build my own brand.

Why I Started This Website

I built GuideUAE.com because I know how it feels to start with nothing. My goal is to share real, practical advice with students, beginners, and anyone who wants to build a business in the UAE but doesn’t know where to start.

Here, you’ll find:

  • Step-by-step guides on starting a business in the UAE
  • Tips on selling on Amazon UAE and eCommerce
  • My personal experiences, struggles, and lessons learned
  • Motivation to keep going when things feel tough

What I Believe

I believe anyone can start small and grow big. You don’t need to be rich, you don’t need to buy expensive courses, and you don’t need to wait for the “perfect time.”

All you need is:

  • A small starting amount (even AED 1,000 is enough)
  • The patience to learn from free resources
  • Consistency and faith in yourself
  • Trust in Allah that every effort will pay off

A Note for Beginners and Women Entrepreneurs

If you’re a student, a beginner, or a stay-at-home mom looking for financial independence, Amazon UAE is one of the best ways to start. You can do everything from your laptop, at your own pace, and grow step by step.

Final Words

GuideUAE.com isn’t about theories or copied advice. It’s about real experience and showing you that if I could turn AED 1,000 into AED 100,000, then you can also build something for yourself.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope my journey helps you start yours.
