Meydan Free Zone Documents Checklist

Why Meydan Free Zone

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. In practice, office options in Meydan Free Zone range from virtual office, flexi-desk or office suite, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. One of the reasons we point clients to Meydan Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running.
