For entrepreneurs and professionals who want to quickly start operating in Dubai, Fawri has recently been introduced. This instant business license from Meydan Free Zone allows you to obtain a complete business license in just 60 minutes.
This service is designed for sole owners, meaning individuals who take on all required roles (shareholder, manager, director, UBO). Gen Emirates supports you through every stage of the process to ensure speed, compliance, and maximum efficiency.
Fawri: What It Is and How It Works
Fawri is a digital license offered by Meydan Free Zone that allows for company formation in less than an hour, eliminating much of the typical bureaucracy. It is available for individuals who want to operate as the sole owner, without having to set up more complex corporate structures right away.
Among its main features, in addition to full digitalization of the service, are:
• LLC (Limited Liability Company) license issued within 60 minutes, including digital documents: certificate of incorporation, memorandum & articles of association, and shareholder register.
• Choice of more than 1,800 business activities, with the ability to combine up to three different groups of activities under the same license.
After obtaining the license, you can then proceed with the application for the Emirates ID, an essential document for those who intend to reside or do business in the UAE.
Fawri: What Are the Requirements to Obtain It?
This type of license is designed for a very specific target. In particular, the mandatory requirements to apply are:
1. The applicant must be an individual (sole owner), who also assumes the required managerial roles, such as director and ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) of the company.
2. It is necessary to specify the selected activities from the 1,800 available and complete the digital checks (documents, identity verification, etc.).
Contrary to what one might think, there is no requirement for upfront paid-up share capital.
