Event Management in the UAE for Australians

Why Meydan Free Zone

The authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE) and Free Zone Company (FZCO), which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. 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.

Why the UAE

English is the working language of business, contracts are routinely drafted in English, and government portals are bilingual, which simplifies opening an event management company in the UAE as an Australian founder for international business owners. Just as important, the UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, and that is why so many business owners choose it as a base for opening an event management company in the UAE as an Australian founder.

Why GoldenKey

GoldenKey's consultants have handled opening an event management company in the UAE as an Australian founder for traders, consultants, tech business owners and family offices, which gives us a realistic view of what each authority approves fast. Just as important, most of our Meydan Free Zone clients come to us through referrals from other founders, and for that reason we take pride in keeping every promise we put in writing. Just as important, if a document is missing or an approval is delayed on your Meydan Free Zone file, we tell you immediately and explain the fix, rather than letting the application sit.
