Business Consulting in the UAE for Bulgarians

Why Meydan Free Zone

For most clients, 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. 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.
