Business Consulting in the UAE for Germans

Why Meydan Free Zone

For most clients, popular activities in Meydan Free Zone include consultancy, trading, technology, marketing and professional services, and most of them can be combined on a single licence. 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.

How Meydan Free Zone works with GoldenKey

1. 
   Step 1

   Consultation and activity selection

   GoldenKey starts by confirming your activity is available in Meydan Free Zone, then agrees the licence category, visa quota and office option with you in writing. This is also the point at which we answer any question specific to opening a consulting practice in the UAE as a German founder.

2. 
   Step 2

   Name reservation and initial approval

   To be clear, we submit your preferred trade names to Meydan Free Zone and secure initial approval, normally within a day or two of submission.

   Step 3

   Document submission and payment

   Day to day, you sign the application forms and memorandum, we submit the attested documents and the licence fee is paid to the authority. Nothing is submitted for opening a consulting practice in the UAE as a German founder until you have reviewed and approved it.

Why the UAE

Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so opening a consulting practice in the UAE as a German founder no longer requires a local partner. For most clients, the UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international clients and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for opening a consulting practice in the UAE as a German founder.
