The original playbook for women considering an international business move. A foundational guide to the legal, financial, and cultural realities of expanding or relocating a business across borders — written before Dubai, before the Global by Design framework, but the work that started it all.
Building a Business Abroad was the first long-form expression of work that has now become a movement. Written from years of legal practice across the US, China, Singapore, and the UAE, it covers the foundational mechanics of building a business across multiple legal systems — and the personal mechanics of building a life that supports that work.
Readers will find frameworks for evaluating international moves, the legal infrastructure of cross-border entities, the cultural intelligence required to operate across continents, and the personal questions every founder considering an international business has to answer first.
If The Black Woman’s Guide to Dubai is the city-specific playbook, this is the global thesis underneath it.
