About the free zone
Meydan Free Zone: a Dubai address in the heart of the city
Meydan Free Zone is located in Meydan, Nad Al Sheba — a few minutes from Downtown Dubai and Business Bay, alongside the Meydan Racecourse and The Meydan Hotel. It gives companies a recognised Dubai address in a central business district, with a fully digital customer platform for registration and day-to-day administration.
Meydan is designed for founders who want to start quickly and keep things simple: company formation can be handled remotely, a flexi desk is included in the standard package, and a single licence can combine consulting, trading and service activities.
For entrepreneurs coming from abroad, it is often one of the most balanced options in Dubai: a strong location, a broad activity list and a straightforward process.

Is Meydan right for you?
Meydan or another free zone?
BML is an official partner of several UAE free zones, so our recommendation is not tied to a single one. Meydan stands out for its central Dubai location, its speed and the flexibility of its activity list. Other free zones can be more economical for very small budgets or better suited to specific sectors.
We compare the options on your actual project — activity, budget, banking and growth plans — and tell you clearly when Meydan is the best choice, and when it is not.
A strong fit when
Meydan works best for
- Consultants, agencies and service companies
- E-commerce and general trading businesses
- Founders who want a central Dubai address
- Entrepreneurs who need to start fast
