About Meydan Free Zone
Why Meydan Free Zone
In short, meydan Free Zone combines Dubai address with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time business owners and established groups. Day to day, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, Meydan Free Zone deserves a close look for its Dubai address and uncomplicated renewal process. External approvals for media & content production are: filming permits for public locations; UAE Media Council for advertising content. Typical examples of this activity include video production, podcast studio, publishing house and content creator, which can usually sit together on one Meydan Free Zone licence.
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 issued. To be clear, one of the reasons we recommend Meydan Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most entrepreneurs realise once the business is running. GoldenKey has licensed media & content production in Meydan Free Zone for clients ranging from solo company owners to groups opening a regional branch, so we know which sub-activities to list.
