Meydan Free Zone · Dubai
A 100%-owned Dubai business licence with a prestigious address — SKY Corporate Services manages your formation, visas, banking and PRO from start to finish.
About
Meydan Free Zone sits within the landmark Meydan district in the heart of Dubai, a short drive from Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport. It was built around a simple idea: that forming a company should not require weeks of paperwork or a physical trip to a counter. The result is one of the emirate's most straightforward jurisdictions to enter, and a popular first choice for founders, consultants, e-commerce operators and international firms opening a Gulf presence.
A Meydan company gives you full foreign ownership, a recognised Dubai address, and a licence that can be issued in a matter of days. The free zone supports a broad range of activities — from trading and consultancy to media, technology and holding structures — and lets you combine activities under a single licence, so your company can grow without repeatedly returning to the authority.
SKY Corporate Services handles the whole formation for you: matching your business to the right licence and activity, preparing and filing the application, then carrying you through establishment card, residence visas and bank account opening. From your first enquiry to a trading company, you deal with one team.
