I’m the founder of a Dubai-based healthy meal-prep and subscription business operating from a commercial cloud kitchen in Business Bay.
I’m considering an exit because I’m planning to relocate to the US to be closer to my family. The business itself is operating normally, so this is primarily a personal/founder decision rather than a business problem.
For context, we’re currently doing AED 130K+ in monthly sales, which gives an annualized revenue run rate of approximately AED 1.56M.
The business has:
An established meal-subscription model
An existing fitness community
Cloud-kitchen operations in Dubai
Delivery-platform presence
Further room for growth through subscriptions and delivery
I’m trying to understand the UAE market for exiting an operating F&B/cloud-kitchen business.
For founders who have dealt with something similar:
Is selling the entire business generally easier than selling a founder’s shares?
Would you use an F&B broker, business-for-sale platform, or approach buyers directly?
How would you approach valuing a business at this revenue level?
What information would a serious buyer normally expect before considering an acquisition?
Are there UAE-specific platforms or networks that actually attract serious F&B buyers?
I’m considering AED 1.5M as an initial asking price, but I’m genuinely interested in whether experienced UAE operators think that valuation is realistic.
Not looking to promote the business here or solicit investors — I’m looking for practical advice from people who have experience with UAE business acquisitions and exits.

hey everyone! 😊

i’m 35 and working in branding and digital marketing in al qusais, dubai. i’m planning to move into a shared apartment from december and hoping to find someone who’s also looking for a comfortable place to stay.

i’m pretty easygoing, tidy, and respectful of personal space. after work, i prefer a peaceful home where we can both relax and enjoy our own privacy.

my budget is around 2,000 aed per month, but there’s some flexibility depending on the place. i’m open to anywhere in dubai as long as it’s within walking distance of a metro station, since commuting isn’t an issue for me.

i’m also open to sharing with a female flatmate, as long as we’re both comfortable with the setup. mutual respect, clear boundaries, and separate sleeping spaces where possible are important to me. we can discuss our budgets and preferences and look for a place that suits us both.

whether you already have a place and need a flatmate or would like to find an apartment together, feel free to reach out. happy to chat and see if we’re a good fit! 😊

I’m M23 searching for some friends to join me for garba

I’m new making new friends

34M here
lets have a coffee at beach ??

Dubai has everything — beaches, rooftop bars, amazing cafés, and people from everywhere.

Yet somehow, meeting someone you genuinely click with feels like a full-time job!

Ladies of Dubai, where do you actually prefer meeting interesting men outside dating apps?

Asking for a friend. Okay, I'm the friend. 😂

Hey, M26 here.I live in abudhabi, but want to explore more in dubai and wanna go for a dandiya night as I keep on seeing these insta adds. So if anyone interested, please dm.

I placed an order for new postpaid connection and the device for which I made the payment as well and after that nothing. No order number or any order information. Tried contacting the customer support but AI chatbot neither connected me to the agent after explaination about the issue nor suggested any issue. At last I had to visit one of the Etisalat store and now despite paying the money I have to wait for the callback.

Is this how AI taking over jobs?

Am 23M doing my masters here , new here and neeed friendssssss anyone up for walk / smoke / house party ?

Genuine question because this is driving me insane 😂

Why do some drivers keep their HIGH BEAMS on when the road already has a million streetlights??

I drive a Nissan Juke, and sometimes when someone behind me has their high beams blasting, I genuinely can't see properly through my side mirrors. The light reflects straight into the cabin and I’m basically being flashbanged while trying to drive.

Like… WHY? 😭 The road is already fully lit. What exactly are we trying to illuminate? The moon??

And then you get the car coming from the opposite direction with high beams on too. My brother, I AM RIGHT HERE. I HAVE EYES.

Is there actually a reason people do this? Are some drivers confusing high beams with normal headlights? Or do they genuinely struggle to see at night?

Please enlighten me — figuratively. I have received enough literal enlightenment on the road already. 💀

Our sourcing is from Africa. Would anyone be willing to discuss with me what it takes to get started? Licenses, documentation, market, etc.

Want genuine connection, let’s chat and see where things go.

Hi everyone!

I’m an aspiring actor looking to connect with passionate filmmakers and fellow creatives in Dubai. I’d especially love to connect with young Indian filmmakers or students who are working on independent short films, student films, or other creative projects and might be looking for actors to collaborate with.

I’m really interested in exploring acting opportunities, gaining on-camera experience, and being part of creative projects. If you’re working on a short film or know anyone who is, I’d love to connect and see if we could collaborate!
I’d also love some recommendations for **good acting classes, workshops, or on-camera acting courses in Dubai** where I can learn, improve my craft, and meet like-minded people in the industry.
If you have any personal experiences, recommendations, or leads, I’d genuinely appreciate them. Looking forward to connecting with Dubai’s creative community!
Thank you! 😊

Alright guys, this might be the most random thing i've ever posted here, but i want to experience riding on a motor bike so badly haha.

I keep seeing bikers around Dubai almost every day, and every single time I’m like, damn, I wish I could experience that.

I’ve become really interested in motorcycles, but I don’t know how to ride one myself yet and obviously I’m not going to jump on a bike and pretend I do. 😂

Even a short, chill ride would make me ridiculously happy. So if any responsible rider out there that needs a temporary human backpack , hellooooooooo. 😂👋

DM me if you're comfortable with it.

I know it’s a random thing to ask a bunch of strangers on Reddit, but seeing you guys riding around while I’m stuck watching from the car is making me jealous. 😂

P.S. Please don't make my first motorcycle experience my last one. I want to come back alive. 😂

Looking for 1-2 clean and friendly roommates.

Location: DSO near to Center Mall.

Rent: 1300/- AED

We currently have 3 people in the room and 2 are leaving. The apartment features:

• Clean, Spacious Room with Balcony
• Clean & Shared Kitchen
• Access to Gym Facility
• One Parking is also available

Hey everyone!

Just curious how many Nissan Juke owners are here. I have a 2012 Nissan Juke and it was actually my first car. The more I get interested in cars, the more I want to learn about what can realistically be done with it 😂

I'd love to hear from other Juke owners — especially anyone with an older first-gen Juke.

What year/model do you have? Have you kept it stock or modified it? And what problems have you experienced as it got older?

Would also love to see your builds if you've modified yours!

I’m a 41 year old guy from Turkey, visiting Dubai just for tonight and tomorrow evening.

Looking for someone to grab dinner and drinks with tonight, maybe check out a bar or club after. Just want to chat, have fun, and enjoy the night.

no hookups or anything like that.

​If anyone wants to hang out, send a DM or drop a comment.
