New initiative connects family-owned enterprises with 56 trusted consultants to support long-term growth and succession planning
Dubai, UAE — The Dubai Centre for Family Businesses, operating under Dubai Chambers, has launched the emirate’s first-ever directory of family business advisors, marking a major step in supporting the sustainability and growth of family-owned enterprises in the region.
The newly unveiled advisor directory includes 56 trusted consultants across a wide range of sectors and specialties. These advisors will assist family businesses in administrative, legal, financial, and operational areas, ensuring access to world-class guidance during pivotal moments such as governance structuring, generational transitions, or strategic expansion.
The initiative reflects Dubai Chambers’ commitment to strengthening the family business ecosystem, which plays a pivotal role in the UAE economy. According to recent estimates, family businesses account for approximately 90% of private sector companies in the country, and many are approaching a critical phase of succession planning and diversification.
By providing vetted and qualified advisors, the directory aims to help family-owned enterprises navigate modern challenges, maintain cohesion, and build resilience for future generations.
The directory is now available through the Dubai Centre for Family Businesses and is expected to become a cornerstone resource in advancing best practices, transparency, and long-term prosperity for the region’s most enduring companies.
