About PKC Pro

PKC Pro is part of the PKC Group and helps businesses — from startups to global brands — enter and grow in the Gulf region, with a focus on the UAE and Saudi Arabia. We support every step of the process, including market research, regulatory approvals, product registration, and finding the right local partners.

With deep regional experience and a strong network, we help companies launch and expand smoothly, avoiding common pitfalls and speeding up time to market.

Vision & Mission

Vision:

Become the most trusted advisor and execution partner for businesses seeking long-term success in the Gulf markets.

Mission:

To deliver practical, actionable, and result-driven consulting and execution services — guiding companies through every stage of market entry, certification, setup, and scaling.

Industry Challenges we solve

Complex Legal & Regulatory Systems:

The Gulf markets are dynamic and country-specific. Companies often face overwhelming differences between UAE Freezones, Mainland regulations, Saudi Arabian GOSI requirements, Saudization rules, and more. Without expert navigation, costly mistakes are common.

Unclear Go-to-Market Strategies:

Most international companies underestimate the different sales channels, government procurement models, and sector-specific buyers in the Gulf. PKCpro designs real, effective market entry models — not just theoretical plans.

Certification and Regulatory Delays:

Especially in IT, Telecom, and Electrical sectors, regulatory certifications like ECAS, RoHS, or TRA approvals can cause launch delays of 6–12 months without proactive management. PKCpro ensures you don’t lose time or market momentum.

Inefficient Setup and Expansion:

Choosing the wrong licensing structure, ignoring visa caps, or underestimating labor laws can paralyze companies early. PKCpro ensures setup and expansion are legally correct, operationally flexible, and commercially scalable.

Cultural and Commercial Alignments:

Entering the Gulf is not just about licensing — it’s about understanding the business culture, relationship-driven sales models, and adapting operations to local expectations.
