DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a city recognized for e-government innovation, Meydan Free Zone is setting a new benchmark for digital business formation, unveiling a fully online setup experience that puts trust and transparency at the core of every step.
Responding to the rising demand for regulatory accuracy, speed, and clarity, Meydan Free Zone has engineered a five-step, technology-enabled setup process. The system eliminates delays and errors, equipping founders with the tools and confidence needed to scale in one of the world’s fastest-moving markets.
“Founders don’t just want to move fast—they want to be trusted by banks, regulators, and partners from day one,” said Mohammad Bin Humaidan Al Falasi, Director of Free Zone Licensing at Meydan Free Zone. “Our platform delivers that trust through technology, automation, and compliance built into every step.”
A Fully Digital, Error-Free Setup Journey
The Meydan Free Zone experience begins with guided business activity selection, ensuring each company aligns with UAE licensing and banking standards. Entrepreneurs receive legal structure and naming support, and built-in screening protocols prevent delays caused by inconsistencies or regulatory red flags.
All submitted documents are subjected to compliance-grade checks, with digital workflows verifying the source of wealth, shareholder structures, and KYC data in accordance with FATF and UAE regulations. Once approvals are secured, trade licenses can be issued in as little as 60 minutes.
A key advantage is Meydan’s support for corporate bank account opening—a common challenge for new businesses. The platform provides banks with World Check screenings, verified KYC data, and clear shareholder structures, ensuring high approval rates and minimizing delays due to missing or misaligned information.
Technology-Driven Transparency and Regulatory Alignment
Meydan Free Zone integrates directly with Dubai’s Live Compliance Dashboard, enabling real-time document validation and regulatory tracking. The entire setup process is remote, using e-signatures, AI chat assistance, and a blockchain-secured portal to provide full transparency and data integrity.
The platform’s enhanced compliance engine, launched earlier this year, automates source-of-funds verification, risk profiling, and ongoing due diligence, all aligned with UAE Federal Law and FATF standards. This ensures every business is prepared to meet the city’s rigorous regulatory expectations from day one.
Recognized as a qualified free zone under the UAE corporate tax framework, Meydan Free Zone offers eligible businesses 0% corporate tax on qualifying income, with registration and filing requirements smoothly integrated into the setup journey.
With over 33,000 regulatory inspections conducted in Q1 2023 across the UAE, staying compliant from inception is essential. Meydan’s structured digital workflow eliminates setup errors, streamlines government approvals, and ensures that all regulatory documents are aligned with bank and partner requirements, providing entrepreneurs with a clear, easy path from concept to operational launch.
