Who Meydan Actually Suits
Meydan is a Dubai free zone, and that single fact is why most people choose it. A Meydan licence gives you a Dubai address and a Dubai-registered company without the cost of a mainland office — which matters when clients, banks and suppliers all read "Dubai" as a signal.
The businesses it fits
Consultancies and service firms invoicing internationally. E-commerce and digital businesses that hold no physical stock in the UAE. Freelancers and small teams who want a proper corporate entity rather than a permit. Holding structures where the owner wants a Dubai registration.
Where it does not fit
If you will sell directly to UAE mainland customers — retail, government contracts, walk-in trade — a free zone licence works through a distributor or a dual licence rather than directly. If you need a warehouse or a shop, Meydan is not built for that; a zone with industrial or logistics facilities is. And if you need a large visa allocation on day one, the workspace tied to the package caps how many you can sponsor.
What people get wrong
Meydan is often sold purely on the Dubai address and the low entry price. Both are real. What gets left out is the domestic market restriction — and that is the thing founders discover after the licence is issued, when a UAE client asks for an invoice the free zone entity cannot properly raise for that transaction.
Licence, Visas and the Bank Account
Activity selection
Meydan covers a broad activity list across consultancy, trading, media, technology and services. Packages include an allowance of activities, with additional ones priced beyond it. Activities generally have to sit within the same group to share a licence — a consultancy and a trading activity usually cannot.
Visa allocation
The number of residence visas is tied to the package and workspace you take, not to how many people you employ. Plan against the headcount you expect in two years: upgrading a package later is possible but costs more than starting at the right tier.
Banking
This is where free zone companies meet friction, and it is worth knowing before you commit. Banks assess the ownership structure, the nature of the business, where customers and suppliers sit, and whether the company has genuine substance in the UAE. A Meydan company with an overseas client base and no local presence is a harder file than a mainland company with an office and staff — not impossible, but it needs a properly prepared application rather than a walk-in.
Please note: package contents, activity allowances, visa quotas and fees are set by Meydan Free Zone and are revised from time to time. We confirm the current position before an application is prepared. See our PRO service pricing for our own fees.
