UAE Business Market Pulse — December Review & 2026 Outlook
Happy New Year! As we step into 2026, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what was one of our strongest months of the year at SellAnyBiz. December 2025 closed with exceptional momentum, signaling high buyer confidence, strong seller intent, and a very active UAE business resale market.
Here’s a closer look at what we achieved — and what it means for buyers, sellers, and brokers moving forward.
December 2025 Performance Highlights
December delivered 587+ new qualified leads, reinforcing SellAnyBiz’s position as one of the most active business matchmaking platforms in the region.
Key growth indicators:
- 501 New Buyers (+25% Year-on-Year growth)

- 5,000+ Live Listings (+15% growth)
- 15,000+ Active Buyer Matches (highest engagement to date)

What stood out most was the quality of buyers — many came pre-qualified, NDA-ready, and actively seeking to close within 30–60 days.

Buyer demand was strongest in:
Hospitality & F&B (Restaurants, cafés, salons, grooming businesses)
