Structuring a dual-license setup and securing payment gateway pre-approvals for a European SaaS provider in Meydan Free Zone.
A prominent European subscription billing SaaS provider aimed to establish a Middle Eastern operational base in Dubai. They required a corporate structure capable of executing credit card merchant billing while keeping setup and license costs optimized.
Opening corporate bank accounts for tech-based SaaS operations in the UAE can face intense KYC checks. Additionally, leading payment processors require physical office Ejari (lease registrations) and certified articles of association mapping specifically to online merchant activities.
We structured a custom single-shareholder Meydan Free Zone entity, mapping their activity parameters specifically to “SaaS and Digital Portals”.
We drafted custom shareholder bylaws, leased a compliant co-working flexi-desk address, pre-screened their corporate files with Wio Business relationship managers, and coordinated gateway integration approvals with Stripe’s UAE compliance managers.
