A practical route for founders who value remote formation, a broad activity choice, and a Dubai free-zone base.

Best for

Consultants, e-commerce, digital businesses, freelancers

A Dubai option built around remote licensing and founder-led digital businesses.

Who Meydan Free Zone suits

Consultants & specialists

Independent professionals and advisory businesses seeking a Dubai entity with an activity matched to the work they actually perform.

Digital & e-commerce businesses

Online-first businesses that do not require dedicated premises at the point of formation.

Lean founder-led companies

Single- or small-shareholder businesses that want a streamlined formation and administration process.

Licence types

Commercial

For eligible trading and commercial activities selected from the authority's current activity list.

Professional

For eligible consultancy, service, and professional activities.

Media & e-commerce

For eligible digital, media, and online-selling activities, subject to the precise approved scope.

Activity names and combinations remain subject to the authority's current activity list and approval. We confirm the exact licensed wording before submission.

Practical setup details

The final package and process depend on the approved activity and the authority's current requirements.

Visa capacity

Visa eligibility and capacity depend on the selected package, activity, establishment file, and the authority's current immigration rules. We confirm the suitable allocation before submission.

Physical-presence requirement

Company formation can generally be coordinated remotely. Residence-visa applicants must still complete any UAE medical, biometrics, or other in-person immigration steps that apply.

Indicative timeline

Allow several working days after a complete, compliant application is submitted. External approvals, immigration steps, or authority queries can extend the process.

What CoreSpaces handles

Activity & zone matching

We test the intended activity, visa needs, premises, and operating model against this zone and credible alternatives before recommending a route.

Partner portal submission

We prepare and submit the application through the applicable partner process, then track authority requests and status updates.

Document preparation

We organise shareholder documents, name choices, activity information, and zone-specific forms before submission.

Visa coordination

Where visas are required, we coordinate the post-licence steps and explain the medical, Emirates ID, and immigration sequence.

Renewals

We track the annual licence renewal and coordinate any establishment-card, immigration-file, or visa renewals that apply.

CoreSpaces L.L.C-FZ is itself Meydan-licensed. We operate from a zone we recommend.

Fees

Authority tariffs and package inclusions can change.

No starting rate is shown until confirmed against the authority's current published tariff. We provide a scoped fee summary for the selected activity, visa requirement, and package before submission.

Compare before choosing

A free zone should fit the licensed activity, visa plan, operating model, and renewal obligations—not simply the headline package. Tell us about your setup and we will compare the relevant options.
