About Meydan Free Zone
Why Meydan Free Zone
In practice, meydan Free Zone combines Dubai address with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time company owners and established groups. Importantly, meydan Free Zone is Dubai's entrepreneurial free zone at the iconic Meydan racecourse, and it has become one of the most practical choices for company owners who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. Typical examples of this activity include residential interiors, commercial fit-out design, furniture design and 3D visualisation, which can usually sit together on one Meydan Free Zone licence. External approvals for interior design & fit-out are: municipality classification only if executing works.
In our experience, 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, one of the reasons we recommend Meydan Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. From day one, for interior design & fit-out, Meydan Free Zone offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
