Every extra dirham must earn at least your current business commercial allocation where applicable— or the market hurdle rate. Otherwise you dilute your return. See exact numbers for 25%, 50%, 100%, 200% capital increases.

Important Disclosures: This tool is indicative and educational, not financial advice or a guarantee of returns. Multiples are calibrated to UAE market benchmarks (Dubai 3.3×, Abu Dhabi 3.05×, etc.) and reflect long-run estimates. Market returns (gold ~8%, equities ~10%, real estate ~7%, deposits ~4.5%, oil volatile, cars depreciating) are historical averages and may differ materially. The business-vs-markets comparison recognizes that private businesses carry higher risk and lower liquidity than public markets. UAE corporate tax is 9% (0% up to AED 375,000); VAT is 5%. Free zones may offer 0% tax subject to conditions. Always consult a licensed financial advisor and legal counsel before making partnership decisions.
