A market building at full speed
The Gulf is building at a pace the world hasn't seen in decades. The architectural paints market across UAE and KSA is worth over $3 billion — and fewer than five players share it.
SAUDI MEGAPROJECTS
Vision 2030
· NEOM · Red Sea · Qiddiya ·
- Hundreds of thousands of active sites, with spending locked in through 2033
- Paint is specified and purchased at every single phase of construction

THE OPPORTUNITY
Five competitors. That's it.
· Structurally underserved market ·
- A European market of equivalent size would have 30–50 active distributors
- The price gap between premium and mid-tier brands runs up to 3x
- Nobody currently sits in the middle — that space is open
DUBAI 2040
Dubai Plan 2040
· Residential · Commercial · Infrastructure ·
- Ongoing residential and commercial construction
- Government facilities and FM services
- Stable long-term demand — not dependent on new construction
Benjamin Moore craftsmanship.
Jotun pricing.
Barbot is built to the same technical standards as the world's premium brands — and priced where the market actually buys.
world-class
Benjamin Moore sets the standard every architect knows. But at those prices, most projects in the region simply can't afford it.
of both worlds
Barbot paints — European craftsmanship at the level of Benjamin Moore. Selling price — like Jotun. This combination did not previously exist in the UAE & KSA market.
Gulf market
Jotun dominates on price and availability. But technically, it's a mid-tier product — specifiers who care about quality know the difference.

Your client base.
Your asset. Nobody can take it.
Every client you bring is registered under your dealer account and stays there — with full order history, communication logs and analytics. This is written into the dealer agreement. Not a courtesy. A contractual guarantee.
Your clients. Your account. Not shared.
Every client you bring — whether you register them manually or they sign up through your referral link — is linked to your account in CRM. Encore has no direct relationship with them. They are yours.
See everything. Control everything.
Your personal dashboard gives you a live view of every client, every deal, every order. Pipeline stages, communication history, purchase patterns — all in one place. You can export everything. No lock-in.
Every returning client — routed to you automatically
When a client reorders, the system routes it to your warehouse without anyone lifting a finger. Your invoice. Your payment. Your margin. And even if you end the partnership, the client base remains yours.
From first contact to payment — here's exactly what happens
You manage the relationship. The platform handles the rest — order processing, invoicing, logistics, tracking — automatically.
Step 1 — You introduce the client
The client registers under your account — either you add them directly in CRM, or they sign up themselves via your referral link on encorepaints.ae. From that moment on, they're yours. Permanently.
Step 2 — The order is placed
The client browses 30,000+ shades and places their order online — or you build the order for them in CRM. Either way, your pricing and discounts apply automatically.
Step 3 — Your invoice goes out
The platform generates an invoice in your company name — your logo, your bank details, your VAT number. Encore is invisible to your client. As far as they're concerned, they're buying from you.
Step 4 — Payment arrives to you
The client pays you directly. No commission deducted. No intermediary taking a cut. You set the price, you capture the margin — the full amount hits your account.
Step 5 — The warehouse ships
Payment confirmed — CRM notifies your warehouse instantly. The order ships from your stock, using your own logistics or our partner network. The client gets a tracking link. You don't have to make a single call.
Step 6 — The cycle continues
The client is in your system permanently. Every reorder routes to you automatically. You track performance per client, per product, per period — and get alerts before you run low on stock.
IT platform ready from day one
Building this infrastructure from scratch takes 12–18 months. You get it on day one of the dealer agreement.

THE PRODUCT
It opens doors
· EU craftsmanship · Gulf price ·
Barbot paints — European craftsmanship at an accessible price. A conversation that closes deals on its own.
What one deal actually looks like
A standard residential project: one villa, 300 litres of paint, tinted to a custom palette.
What you walk away with
| Your selling price (you decide this) | 8 400 AED |
| + Tinting surcharge (typically 25%) | +2 520 AED |
| Client pays | 10 920 AED |
| − Your cost (what you pay Encore) | −5 000 AED |
| Your profit on one job | ≈ 5 920 AED |
The first stock purchase to open your warehouse and go to market — roughly equivalent to $50,000.
Your margin on standard white or pre-coloured paint, relative to the price you set.
Custom tinting adds an average of 25% on top. That surcharge is pure margin — pushing total profitability close to 85%.
These are illustrative figures. Encore sets no prices and takes no commission from your sales.
Every pricing decision is yours. Your margin is yours. We have no visibility into your client transactions.
On standard architectural paint, at the price you decide to charge your client.
Add custom colour tinting and the surcharge — typically 10–45% — goes entirely to you on top of the base margin.
