Middle East experience

If you are thinking of expanding your business into the Middle East, our award winning team has specific experience and expertise which can help you achieve your goals.

There are significant growth opportunities in the Middle East, with oil-rich countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar experiencing rapid population growth and aiming to develop their overall economic activity. However, there are many cultural and procedural complexities in establishing business structures and relationships in countries such as this and specialist skills and knowledge are required.

MHA MacIntyre Hudson Corporate Finance Partners Laurence Whitehead and Peter Petyt have both lived and worked in the region and participated in projects in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. They have a wide range of corporate and personal contacts in these countries which can help your company establish business operations through new-start entities, joint ventures, strategic alliances and commercial partnerships, as well as sourcing the required funding from capital providers in the region.

As members of Morison International we also have excellent local presence through our member firms in the region, which enables us to manage projects efficiently by combining resources from the UK and the relevant local offices.
