About Meydan Free Zone
Why Meydan Free Zone
Day to day, founders choose Meydan Free Zone when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. Meydan Free Zone combines Dubai address with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, so it suits both first-time company owners and established groups. As a rule, danish shipping and logistics groups are major operators at Jebel Ali and across the Gulf, which gives Danish entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Meydan Free Zone licence is granted. To be clear, for Danish founders, the UAE is around 6.5 hours from Copenhagen, the UAE is 2 to 3 hours ahead of Denmark, and English is the working language.
Just as important, one of the reasons we suggest Meydan Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most company owners realise once the business is running. In practice, unlike some zones, Meydan Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is granted. Day to day, danish applicants benefit from the fact that Meydan Free Zone already has many Danish shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Denmark documents and name formats instantly.
