What is BaaS and what is its main purpose in the UAE?

BaaS is a specialized UAE marketplace where business owners and brokers showcase commercial projects (restaurants, cafes, salons, laundries, retail) and connect directly with potential buyers and investors via WhatsApp, phone, or email.

Is listing a commercial project on BaaS free for business owners and brokers?

Yes! BaaS allows business owners and brokers to publish and promote their projects for free to attract investors across the UAE. Featured packages are also available for enhanced visibility.

Can foreign investors own 100% of a mainland commercial business in the UAE?

Yes, under UAE Commercial Companies Law, 100% foreign ownership is permitted for over 1,000 commercial activities on the UAE mainland without requiring a local Emirati partner.

How does BaaS ensure the accuracy of listed business metrics in the UAE?

We review official financial P&L statements, active DED or Free Zone trade licenses, landlord Ejari lease agreements, and MOHRE labor sponsorship records to ensure presented metrics are reliable.
