Our view

Meydan sits in Nad Al Sheba, minutes from Downtown, and is built around two things: a credible Dubai address and speed. Its fast-track product issues a trade licence quickly once your documents are in order. That matters because the licence number opens the visa file, the Emirates ID and the bank appointment, so a faster licence speeds up the whole chain.

Meydan sells direct to clients, which keeps its pricing public and easy to check. The licence covers a broad activity list, and adding activities later is straightforward.

The base package includes a flexi-desk, which suits most consultants, online businesses and traders. Banks like to know where a company operates, and Meydan's central address gives you a stronger answer than a Silicon Oasis or northern-emirate address would. If you plan to hire a team, an office can be added.
