Creative studio in Dubai, UAE

A creative studio in Dubai, the UAE, is for sale.

This is a fully built premium creative production platform in Dubai — a 4,000 sq ft, two-stage facility with commercial production capability, talent access and an editorial-grade brand with lighting technology embedded to its unique offerings. The business has already proven demand, growing revenue 158% year-on-year to AED 2.58M in FY2025, while maintaining a clean balance sheet with no bank debt.

The next owner is not buying a start-up experiment — they are buying a built platform with under-monetised capacity, operating leverage, and a clear path to scale across the GCC.

Business overview

• FY 2025 Revenue - AED 2.58M
• YOY Revenue Growth - +158%
• Gross Profit - AED 1.10M (~43%)
• External Bank Debt - 0

Why to Buy?

You are not buying a studio. You are buying time. The cost of building this business from scratch is not the fit-out. It is 18 months of licensing, hiring, positioning, creative credibility, client trust and operational trial-and-error. A purchasing of ready business compresses that entire curve.

What You Get Immediately

• Operating Dubai DET licence
• Two flagship stages, ready
• AED 0.68M equipment in place
• Trained team & workflows
• Editorial-grade brand in market
• Existing commercial client base
• Revenue already at AED 2.58M

Growth Levers

1 Rate uplift

• Cloud AED 4,240 is below comparable Dubai dark studios. 15–20% premium is commercially supportable without losing clients.

2 Off-peak activation

• Mornings and evenings are largely unbooked. Event hire, e-commerce popups and workshops fill dead hours.

3 Production upsell

• Studio hire is the floor. Direction, talent and postproduction extend per-booking value materially.

4 Saudi demand channel

• Saudi Research & Media Group already books crossborder. Validated demand from Saudi-based clients is a platform for eventual regional presence — not speculation.

Growth Directions

We use a different value lever for each buyer type.

Strategic media /production group

• Acquire a premium Dubai production base instantly — flagship facility, brand, team, licence and creative positioning, ready to operate on day one.

Agency / communications group

• Internalise production margin, accelerate campaign delivery, and offer clients premium content execution without outsourcing.

Family office / investor

• Buy the Dubai proof-of-concept and scale GCC creative infrastructure — hard assets, clean ownership, clear replication path.

Market Overview

• Middle East media & entertainment market, growing at 9.66% CAGR.
• USD 48.4B → USD 76.8B by 2031
• Dubai's creative economy today, targeted at 5% of GDP under the Dubai Creative Economy Strategy.
• AED 21.9B ≈ 4.6% of Dubai GDP
• Vision 2030
• Saudi demand engine
• Saudi Arabia holds ~39% of regional market. UAE shows fastest growth — supporting a regional expansion thesis for the right buyer.

The thesis: production is moving in-region and budgets are following. This studio is already licensed, built and operating in the centre of it — a first-mover platform to consolidate, not a project to start.

Founder Transition

A structured, founder-led handover of up to six months to transfer client relationships, talent, the brand and operating knowledge — de-risking continuity for the buyer.
