This blog is for ambitious women who are considering their options for starting a business in the UAE! As the title suggests, we will narrow down 5 Profitable Small Business Ideas for Women in Dubai!
1: Blogging
This is a popular choice, why so? It is a fun and creative way to make money while having the time to spare for your loved ones at home. Bloggers choose what their work schedules are and their revenue is decided by how captivating their writing style and content are!
So once your blog is published on a guest blogging website or your website – you can then sit back, relax, and watch the money come in from all of the advertisement views and referrals (affiliate sales) to the products that you may promote.
If you are not a great writer yet, do not fret, a proofreader can help your blogs become more crisp and refined in the eyes of your readers. If you are a full-time employee with a heap of responsibilities at home, blogging could be your way out into a job with fewer working hours and more time for your husband and children!

4: Bookkeeping
As a freelance bookkeeper, you will be responsible for recording financial transactions while also working from home. Many freelance bookkeepers have started with no experience, and have built their portfolio which can be used to get a Freelance Permit and Visa in the UAE!
There are blogs on How Much You Should Charge for your bookkeeping services. There are 5 Types of Fee Structures among freelance bookkeepers:
- Packages pricing
- Custom flat fees
- Value pricing
- Prepaid time blocks
- Hourly rates
As a freelancer, you will enjoy working for yourself, however, it is no secret that you will be responsible for your cash flow so we advise you to monitor your expenses while being transparent with your earnings to ease banking. Bookkeepers will do well with up-to-date records that will help you save money, time, and stress in the future. Once you gain traction as a freelance bookkeeper we advise you to hire a personal accountant to optimize your income and expenses.
