We at GenZone are truly excited to share a testimonial from one of our esteemed clients. Prof. Dr. Markus Rothenburger, a distinguished medical professional from Germany who consulted us for his business setup in Dubai, shared his experience with us on his LinkedIn page – complete with a photo featuring our co-founders and real estate advisor at the GenZone headquarters in Business Bay, Dubai.
When Prof. Dr. Markus Rothenburger, a PhD holder with over 25 years of clinical and leadership experience across multiple countries, decided to set up his consultancy in Dubai, he required more than just a service provider – he needed a comprehensive partner who could handle every aspect of his UAE journey without the hassle of coordinating multiple vendors.
Yes, that was us. We are quite privileged to have him as another revered client who can make a significant impact in the growing Dubai economy. His business, NexaBio Consulting, focuses on the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences sectors, specializing in quality, manufacturing, and medical affairs – areas that will bring tremendous value to Dubai’s rapidly expanding healthcare industry.
Why One Partner Beats Multiple Providers
Relocating to Dubai and setting up a business involves many complex, tightly interconnected tasks – company formation, visa processing, banking coordination, real estate acquisition, and ongoing accounting and compliance. It is a continuous, multi-layered loop of processes, and to get everything done smoothly and efficiently, you need matchless experience and proven expertise.
Many entrepreneurs and professionals, without a clear strategy, make the costly mistake of choosing multiple providers for each individual service. This often results in avoidable miscommunication, delays, duplicated efforts, and hidden costs that surface unexpectedly at every stage of the journey – including challenges with banking coordination.
GenZone, as you might already know, takes a fundamentally different and highly integrated approach. Everything is handled under one roof, managed by a single, dedicated team that understands how each piece connects seamlessly to the next.
Along with business setup, we also provide comprehensive, end-to-end support for residency, finding the right property for both living and investment, corporate banking and accountancy, regulatory compliance, and a range of ongoing legal and financial services – all carefully coordinated through one trusted partner.
The Client: A Global Medical Authority
Dr. Rothenburger brings exceptional credentials to his UAE-based venture, NexaBio Consulting:
- 25+ years of medical excellence, spanning cardiovascular surgery, intensive care medicine, and emergency medicine.
- Senior leadership roles, including Chief Medical Officer positions across Europe and Vice President of Global Medical Affairs for leading pharmaceutical and medical device companies.
- Extensive global experience across Germany, Switzerland, the UK, the United States, and Africa.
- 100+ peer-reviewed publications and a strong global network of key opinion leaders.
- Deep expertise across cardiology, immunology, infectious diseases, and critical care.
The Challenge: Complete UAE Relocation
Dr. Rothenburger’s requirements were comprehensive:
- Business Setup with the right free zone and activity codes for pharma/biotech consulting
- Golden Visa processing for long-term residency and business stability
- UAE banking suitable for international consulting operations
- Real estate acquisition for both off-plan investment and ready-to-move properties
- Ongoing accounting and compliance to maintain regulatory standing
Each element required deep expertise, and more importantly, seamless coordination between services.
The GenZone Solution: End-to-End Excellence
1. Company Formation with Strategic Precision
GenZone’s founders, Kevin McKenzie and Shayan Nasiri, personally analyzed Dr. Rothenburger’s business model for NexaBio Consulting. Rather than offering a generic setup, they:
- Selected the optimal free zone based on his pharma/biotech consulting focus
- Identified the precise activity codes that would support his quality, manufacturing, and medical affairs services
- Ensured compliance with UAE regulations for life sciences consulting
- Structured the company to facilitate international client relationships and cross-border transactions
The result: A company structure perfectly tailored to his business needs, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
2. Golden Visa Process: White-Glove Service
The Golden Visa process can be daunting, involving medical tests, biometric appointments, and multiple government touchpoints. GenZone transformed this into a smooth, supported experience:
- Personal accompaniment to all medical tests and biometric appointments
- Continuous status updates at every stage
- Weekend and public holiday availability for urgent matters
- Complete transparency on timelines and requirements
The result: Dr. Rothenburger secured his Golden Visa without stress, with the security of long-term UAE residency for himself and his family.
3. UAE Banking: Opening Doors for International Business

- Navigate the documentation requirements efficiently
- Present Dr. Rothenburger’s international profile effectively
- Secure appropriate banking facilities for his consulting operations
- Ensure smooth account activation
The result: Banking infrastructure ready to support global pharma/biotech consulting from day one.

Why the Single-Provider Approach Works
Dr. Rothenburger’s testimonial highlights what makes GenZone’s comprehensive approach superior:
“From the very beginning, the entire process was clearly explained, individually tailored, and fully transparent in terms of costs – with no hidden fees.”
When you work with multiple providers:
- Each provider quotes separately, often with hidden fees appearing later
- Coordination falls on you, consuming valuable time
- Information gets lost between providers
- Timelines slip because one provider waits on another
- Disputes arise over who is responsible for what
With GenZone’s End-to-End Approach:
- One comprehensive quote covering all services
- Complete cost transparency from day one
- Single point of contact managing all coordination
- Integrated timeline with dependencies managed professionally
- Clear accountability for every aspect of your UAE journey
“Communication was fast, open, and reliable, and the team was always available, even on weekends and public holidays.”
This level of accessibility is only possible when one dedicated team manages your entire relationship. Multiple providers mean multiple communication channels, multiple response times, and gaps where no one is available when you need urgent support.
“Outstanding customer support, very high competence, clear communication, and a strong solution-oriented mindset.”
GenZone’s solution-oriented approach stems from understanding how all the pieces fit together. When your company formation expert also understands your banking needs, your visa requirements, and your real estate goals, they can solve problems proactively rather than reactively.
