This illustrative scenario shows how an Icelandic founder set up a healthcare clinic in Meydan Free Zone with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
An Icelandic entrepreneur from Reykjavík wanted to launch a healthcare clinic serving customers in the UAE and Iceland. The priorities were a credible licence, a residency visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Meydan Free Zone
After comparing options, Meydan Free Zone was chosen for its Dubai address and because healthcare clinic is a well-established activity there. GoldenKey confirmed the activity code and the visa package in the first consultation.
The process
GoldenKey reserved the trade name, obtained initial approval and submitted attested paperwork from Iceland. The licence was issued in line with the usual Meydan Free Zone timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
With the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to healthcare clinic. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
The business was invoicing customers within weeks of the first call, with a UAE address, a resident founder and a compliance calendar managed by GoldenKey. The same path is available to any Icelandic founder considering healthcare clinic in Meydan Free Zone.
