A variety of factors have an influential impact on how an enterprise develops. This study examined factors that operate as market barriers to entrepreneurship in the United Arab Emirates. These factors are fear of failure, risk aversion, lack of social networking, lack of resources, political instability, and economic instability. A survey-based approach framework was used. This survey recruited 150 participants, including UAE students, business owners, and budding entrepreneurs. Multiple-item survey questionnaires and secondary data were used in the data analysis process to identify and evaluate the barriers preventing people from starting new businesses and becoming entrepreneurs in the United Arab Emirates. According to the research results, fear of failure, risk aversion, and lack of resources in the United Arab Emirates make it difficult for business owners to launch brand new business ventures.
