Our verdict

On our criteria, Meydan FZ wins for the most common profile. A central Dubai address with instant licensing — the strongest all-rounder for a first company.

That said, IFZA remains the right call if: solo consultants and agencies, small import/export traders. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
