Global Institute of People (GIP) is a Kentucky-based business platform that helps international founders and executives – especially from the Gulf (UAE & KSA) – build a serious, compliant, and connected presence in the United States.

We combine three things that are usually fragmented and confusing to manage on your own: business registration in Kentucky, C-level education, and a curated business club. All delivered through one trusted partner on the ground.

A Gulf-Focused, Execution-Oriented Business Network

The Kentucky Business Club (KBC), powered by GIP, is our answer to a simple question:

How do we ensure that Gulf businesses entering Kentucky and the US are not alone?

KBC is a member-based business club for Gulf entrepreneurs, investors, and C-level leaders who want:

• A curated network of peers with similar ambitions

• Local Kentucky partners across legal, tax, banking, logistics, and technology

• Warm introductions rather than cold outreach

• Regular access to insights, deals, and opportunities that are actually relevant to them

 

Where most networks offer events and photos, we focus on:

• Strategic introductions driven by your objectives

• Kentucky-focused business intelligence and briefings

• A vetted ecosystem of service providers you can trust

• The credibility that comes from being part of an organized, Gulf-focused group in Kentucky

 

Membership in the Kentucky Business Club integrates naturally with our registration and C-level programs, so your company is not only set up and educated, but also connected and visible.

​

​

​We differentiate ourselves through:

​

Integration We unify business registration, C-level development, and networking under one umbrella, so your US expansion is coherent.

Context We design everything with Gulf-based leaders in mind: their constraints, timelines, expectations, and governance structures.

Execution We are judged by what gets done: registered companies, trained leaders, signed agreements, operational momentum.

​

If you are a UAE or KSA-based founder, investor, or C-level leader considering a US expansion, GIP can:

• Help you assess whether Kentucky is right for your strategy

• Design your entry plan

• Register and launch your entity

• Equip your leadership team

• Plug you into a serious business network through the Kentucky Business Club

You don’t need to navigate the US alone. Let GIP be your partner on the ground in Kentucky, from first conversation to full operation.

Most founders experience the same pain points:

They struggle to find a clear, end-to-end path to register and operate a company in Kentucky. They speak to multiple advisors, receive conflicting advice, and lose time coordinating lawyers, accountants, banks, and consultants. They join business courses that are too academic or too US-centric, and don’t speak to their real-world decisions as Gulf executives. They join networks and chambers, but quickly discover that most “connections” never turn into actual deals or partnerships.

​

GIP exists to solve these problems in a simple, structured way.

​

​We help Gulf entrepreneurs and executives build a real US base in Kentucky by offering:

One entry point. One playbook. One trusted relationship.

From first conversation to fully operating company, trained leadership team, and an active business network in Kentucky, GIP stays with you at every step.

​

​1. Business Registration in Kentucky

A Guided, End-to-End Entry into the US

​

GIP turns Kentucky into a strategic and cost-effective launchpad for your US operations.

We provide a structured “soft landing” for Gulf-owned businesses that want:

​

• A US entity in a business-friendly state

• Regulatory clarity without surprises

• Practical guidance on tax, visas, banking, and compliance

• Trusted local partners for day-to-day operations

​

​Instead of dealing with five or six separate providers, you work with a single, coordinated team. We help you understand why Kentucky makes sense (costs, logistics, incentives, access), and then we execute the steps to build your presence.

​​

Typical outcomes include:

• Registered and compliant Kentucky entity

• EIN and initial tax guidance

• Local address and operational basics

• Clear roadmap for scaling into the broader US market

​

This is not just paperwork. It is your strategic foothold in America, set up correctly from day one.

We are built for:

International founders and business owners, especially from UAE and KSA, who:

• Want to establish or expand their business in the United States

• Prefer a stable, cost-effective, and strategic state rather than the most expensive coastal cities

• Value trust, long-term relationships, and cultural understanding

• Expect a partner who can translate between Gulf expectations and US realities

Whether you are a family business, a corporate group, or a high-net-worth entrepreneur, our role is to turn Kentucky into your smartest US gateway.

​

​

Kentucky offers a powerful mix of:

• Competitive operating costs

• Strategic logistics and connectivity

• Supportive business environment

• Room to build influence and partnerships, not just compete for attention

GIP adds:

• Deep understanding of Gulf business culture and decision-making

• An integrated model linking company setup, leadership development, and networking

• A long-term commitment to building and curating a Gulf–Kentucky business bridge

You are not buying a service transaction. You are joining a platform and a relationship.
