Welcome to Mulberry Tree Partners.

We established our business in Kuwait to offer pure-play advisory service to companies in the GCC region, and to those who wish to enter into the region for doing business.


Over the years we have successfully advised businesses with interest in real estate, contracting, food and beverage, retail, investment services, and more. Our core value is to create success stories that benefit the clients and the market. Our strength comes from our team, whose knowledge, experience and network of business relationship, in itself creates unique competence.


From our partners, to business associates, we believe in rolling up our sleeves and getting straight to work. We do not render armchair consulting. Rather, we undertake hands-on approach to business consulting. And for this very reason, our clients prefer engaging us, and later referring us to other businesses.
