In a city where ambition and innovation converge, Dubai’s Meydan Free Zone has once again set a new standard for entrepreneurial agility. Introducing Fawri, a digital service that delivers a complete business license in just 60 minutes for AED 15,000.

This isn’t merely a convenience; it’s a paradigm shift in business setup, designed for the modern founder who values speed, simplicity, and seamless execution.

As the UAE’s first fully digital free zone, Meydan has reimagined the licensing process with Fawri, eliminating traditional bureaucratic hurdles. The service caters to solo entrepreneurs, providing all essential legal documents, including the business license, certificate of formation, share register, memorandum and articles of association, and lease agreement, within an hour.

The implications are profound: no more weeks of waiting or paperwork. Just a streamlined, digital-first approach that aligns with Dubai’s vision of a frictionless business ecosystem.

But efficiency is only part of the appeal. Once the license is issued, entrepreneurs can immediately proceed with visa applications and corporate bank account setup through Meydan’s integrated digital platform. The flexibility extends further. Businesses can combine up to three activity groups under a single license, allowing founders to operate across multiple sectors without added complexity.

Mohammad Bin Humaidan Al Falasi, Strategic Director of Free Zone Licensing at Meydan, underscores the transformative potential: “Fawri ensures that business owners aren’t just licensed—they’re operational within the same day. This is about empowering founders with clarity, speed, and confidence from the very first step.”

The benefits are compelling: 100% foreign ownership, no paid-up capital requirements, full repatriation of profits, and the freedom to lease office space anywhere in Dubai (with Department of Economy & Tourism approval). These features position Fawri as a magnet for global entrepreneurs seeking a competitive edge in the UAE’s dynamic market.

This launch follows Dubai’s March 2024 announcement allowing free zone companies to operate on the mainland—a move that further enhances the emirate’s appeal as a business hub. With Fawri, Meydan Free Zone not only accelerates the licensing process but also solidifies Dubai’s reputation as a destination where innovation meets opportunity.
