UAE AED 1 Billion Business Support Package 2026
UAE Announces AED 1 Billion Business Support Package Amidst War – What It Means & How UABC Helps You Access It
The UAE government has introduced a AED 1 Billion Economic Support Package to strengthen businesses, especially SMEs, and ensure economic stability.
Unlike direct grants, this package works through practical business advantages that reduce costs and create opportunities. These include:
✔ Reduction or suspension of selected government fees
✔ 0% Corporate Tax (Small Business Relief) for qualifying businesses (revenue ≤ AED 3M)
✔ Easier access to SME financing and working capital
✔ Increased access to government tenders and procurement
✔ Business support programs, advisory, and market access initiatives
What This Means for African Businesses in the UAE
This is a real opportunity—but it is not automatic.
To benefit, your business must:
- Be properly registered (valid trade license)
- Be compliant (corporate tax registration, records)
- Be positioned within the UAE business ecosystem
Many miss out because they lack:
- Structure
- Information
- Access to the right networks
