How To Generate Great Business Ideas?

Great business ideas don’t hide themselves but rather show themselves at every corner of where you are, at every moment! You just need to keep your eyes open to spot them around with vigilant ears to hear and execute on the heard idea!

Below are some effective ways to generate great best business ideas in Dubai, no anywhere!-

1. Start with family-

There are many angels investment services in Dubai. But they will only be willing to put money, help your grow only when your idea is viable. It is not just about how to start a business in Dubai, how to start a business in India. It is about knowing your idea, the fundamental stone of your business foundation.

You can start with your family where you can get priceless training coupled with as many ideas as you can sleep on. For instance, take Donald Trump. He was not shy of learning about the real estate business from his dad, Fred. Fred ran a flourishing real estate business. Trump had all the wisdom to ask his dad for priceless training before getting his hand in the business all by himself. And that is how Donald Trump became the real estate baron as he is known today.


“Unfortunately, many people just want to create a business themselves without getting any help from their family. Now that is stupid."

2. Get some help from friends-


Apple Computer was not an individual effort. If it were not for Steve Jobs' best and reliable friend Steve Wozniak, there would have been no Apple Computers ever. Hence, understand that you can establish a successful business recognizing other’s idea and executing on it together.

40% Start-Ups Fail. How Do You Ensure Your Start-Up Sustains?



If you got a plan to start with business, or already own one, cheers to you. You have overcome a key hurdle to becoming a successful entrepreneur- not letting fear and self-doubt strangle you from your goal. Now how to ensure it sustain? Following the steps below.

1. Plan maketh entrepreneur. Not experience.

Reliable Angel investment services in Dubai like Cosmos Group will always tell you one thing, “If you got no experience. Have a plan.”

Richard Branson had no prior experience. However, he had a plan-

a. Before starting your entrepreneurial journey, or making your website live, create a formal business plan. Further developing the plan will throw answers to unanticipated questions like identifying and leveraging the latest marketing techniques.

b. Post launch, ensure your plan is updated on an annual basis. This is important as market changes, and you may just miss new customer opportunities with an old plan. As Yogi Berra famously said, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you might not get there.”

2. Explore
Research makes your data reflect current understanding of your customers’ needs and desires. Research unveils what mode of communication and messaging will resonate best with your customers. A detailed market analysis will reveal competitors’ next steps and reveal business trends to leverage.

3. Get a trusted advisor
You cannot expect your initiative to produce positive outcome with only gung-ho. You need to back-up your initiative with wisdom. And two things successful entrepreneurs have in common is that they hire good, trusted advisors (especially, financial advisors and lawyers.) Around 55% successful entrepreneurs hired an accountant at the start.

Searching for reliable angel investment services in Dubai? Cosmos Group is the name everyone trusts.

How Is The Future Of Angel Investment Culture In The Middle- East Region?


There are many pessimistic and optimistic voices clamoring in Middle East when it comes to Angel investors. There is a light coming from the narrow roof which is ready to support Business start-ups in the Middle East. However, let’s throw more light on the actual scenario.

Demographic disconnect
There is seen a certain demographic disconnect in Middle East between the older (and wealthier) generations staying away from start-ups. Many reasons can be stated, but the most important one is this- the youth are more aware of the potential of start-ups who are also more tech savvy. This does not however resonate with the older generations in the Middle East. Therefore, “If a Saudi grandson asks his grandfather for $500,000 to invest in a start-up, the answer is usually no. However, if he asks his grandfather for $500,000 to buy a car, the grandson gets his money instantly.”

A ray of hope
Fortunately, there is a wave that believes in the potential of start-up community in Middle East. And a significant part of this wave is Cosmos Group who have taken the onus of underwriting the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

To any potential investors eyeing startups of the Middle East: the time is now. Opportunity is nearly everywhere. The budding start-ups are taking entrepreneurial risks, and some of them will change the Middle East for the better. Yes, there is high risk. But, is it worth risking your economy falling behind? Is this risk greater that the risk of you being left behind in future?
