How it will work

Four steps. Human-brokered.

Phase 1 is not an algorithm. The founding team matches every early-member trade personally.

1

Apply & get verified

Apply via the waitlist. The team personally reviews within 24 hours. Trade licence verified after acceptance, not at intake.

2

Build your profile

List what you offer, what you want, and your AED value range. Visible only to other verified members.

3

Get hand-matched

The broker pairs you against five criteria. Both sides confirm interest before any introduction. No cold contact.

4

Deliver & close

Both parties confirm delivery. Tabadal generates two FTA-compliant tax invoices. File them in your quarterly VAT return.

How the money works

Not a trade currency. Real dirham invoices.

AED 0
No cash moves

You trade a service for a service at an agreed value. No money leaves either business.

1 value
One AED value agreed

Both sides agree what the swap is worth in dirhams up front. No invented points, no internal credit to bank.

2 invoices
Two FTA tax invoices

Under UAE FTA ruling VATP042 a barter is two taxable supplies. Tabadal issues a compliant tax invoice each way.

A 35-second intro

What Tabadal is, in under a minute.

A note from
The founding team
Tabadal, UAE

We built Tabadal because UAE SMEs are paying each other in cash for services they could just as easily exchange. A photography studio pays a law firm. The law firm pays a marketing agency. The marketing agency pays the photography studio. The cash leaves all three businesses for no good reason.

If your business sells time, expertise, or carries inventory, you already have currency. Tabadal makes that currency spendable: verified, FTA-compliant under VATP042, brokered personally before launch.

We read every early-member application. If you are a fit, you hear from us within 24 hours.
