International Partner Search (IPS)

The International Partner Search is offered to U.S. companies interested in identifying prospective agents/distributors for their products in the U.A.E. Our trade specialist will work with you in understanding what you would like to accomplish in terms of business and would then call upon their extensive contacts in the U.A.E. to try and find good prospective matches for you to consider working with.

This is a popular service with U.S. companies wanting to test this market for the level of interest that would be found for their product/service but are yet not ready to travel to the U.A.E.

Ten full sets of your company product literature would be required to provide this service and your company web-site address, if available. Turnaround time from the date of receiving the product literature is usually 30 work days.
