The founder of FAME also said that the UAE has huge potential for entrepreneurs like him since the government has undertaken steps in attracting foreign investments. He elaborates: “The visionary leadership of this country has taken many steps to transform the UAE into a global business hub and I would like to thank them for granting me a Golden Visa. Steps like allowing 100 per cent foreign-owned businesses, offering extended visas for entrepreneurs, providing funding and support for smaller businesses, and aiming to attract international businesses to the region, have led entrepreneurs like me to explore the UAE market."

Speaking at length about his expansion plans, Sheeraz says, “In terms of expansion, Dubai was always on my radar. After gaining huge success in Los Angeles, I now want to focus on the Middle Eastern region, as I see a very big opportunity here.
