Dubai Multi Commodities Centre
Dubai free zone covering Jumeirah Lakes Towers and Uptown Dubai, with trading, service and industrial licences.
- Every package shows an 'Original price', a 'Package price' and a lower 'Business Acceleration Offer' price. The offer prices are promotions.
- No 2-visa package is published.
- The landing page quotes minimum share capital of USD 13,612 and visa fees in USD (from USD 907 plus USD 817 refundable deposit). These differ from the AED schedule and are not converted.
Meydan Free Zone
Dubai free zone that issues digital trade licences with a flexi-desk, including an instant 'Fawri' licence for one-person companies.
