The Dubai Reality Check: The Real Cost of Building a Dubai Agency with Justin McGuire

Dubai is often sold as a tax-free paradise for recruitment founders, but the reality is a high-stakes market where 450 new agencies opened in just the last 12 months.

If you’re planning a move, you need to look past the beach clubs and understand the $100k "buy-in" required to survive the first year.

This week I am joined by Justin McGuire is an 18-year veteran of the Middle East recruitment scene and the founder of MCG Talent, who recently completed a successful MBO and now advises founders on navigating the region’s unique commercial landscape.
