Gabe Stewart is always asked what he does. What is his source of income for the kind of life and travel he leads? In his testimonial about GenZone, he chooses not to explain it, keeping his business model private. But he is vocal about how he set up his structure in Dubai, with the help of GenZone.
“I’m not going to give you a sales pitch. I will give you a little bit of insight, but I’m not going to tell you what I do, simple as that. It’s my own personal business and I’m going to gatekeep it, because it works for me and it might not work for everyone else.”
That refusal is not a big deal, he wants to keep it private, and that’s part of the discipline. It helps him focus on the real subject of his testimonial further: how GenZone helped him plan and structure it, rather than the business itself.
The Problem Every International Entrepreneur Eventually Hits
Gabe’s business, whatever its specifics, is genuinely international. He deals with people all over the world, and as his operation scaled, he ran into a problem that almost every self-employed entrepreneur eventually faces.
“When you’re self-employed and you start to scale things, one of the things you will notice is that it’s very difficult to move money around a lot of the time. My business is pretty international, I’m dealing with people all over the world, so it is really difficult to move money when I need it moved, and it’s difficult to move it quickly.”
That friction was not a minor inconvenience. For someone running an international operation, the inability to move money efficiently is a structural problem, and structural problems need structural and practical solutions.
“This is why I was really stuck. And this comes back to me saying you need a good structure. You need to have a business set up that’s tax efficient, and it just works like clockwork.”
Setting Up in Dubai With GenZone
Gabe did what plenty of other British entrepreneurs in his position have done. He set up a company in Dubai. And the great news for us is that he did it with GenZone.
“So I did what a lot of other British people have done, and I set a company up in the UAE,” he explains.
What stood out to him immediately was that this did not feel like a sales relationship. It felt like a team that was simply good at what they do.
“To be honest, this isn’t even a promo video for them, because they’ve just been absolutely brilliant for me over the last few months. I want to give them a shout out, because they have solved every single problem that I needed solving.”
What makes his setup even more interesting is the timing he chose for it. Gabe’s Dubai company was being put together during a tense period of regional conflict, a turbulent moment when most people would expect frustrating delays, costly complications, or at the very least, some serious disruption to the process.
“The whole Dubai setup I was doing right during the war, it was so stress-free. Everything was handled by them. It probably took a total of three or four weeks to do, which I thought was really quick.”
Three to four weeks, during one of the most disruptive periods the region has seen in recent memory, with zero stress on his end. That is not just a fast turnaround. It is a demonstration of how a genuinely capable team operates regardless of external conditions.
“There are a lot of companies in Dubai that do this for you, but GenZone went above and beyond for me, which is again why I’m doing this video for them, because they honestly have done me such a solid with everything.”
The Paperwork Nobody Wants to Deal With
Beyond the core setup, Gabe needed a stack of documentation sent over from the UAE and properly legalised, the kind of bureaucratic process that is expensive, time-consuming, and genuinely difficult to navigate without guidance.
“I needed to get a load of documentation sent over from the UAE, legalise all of that, which cost a lot of money and takes a lot of time and would be a big headache. I wouldn’t really know where to start.”
GenZone took it on entirely.
“They did all of that for me. They handled everything. All I had to do was pay the invoices when they came up.”
That is the standard most clients describe when they work with GenZone, not partial help, not guidance from the sidelines, but complete ownership of the process from start to finish.
A Structure Built for the Life He Wants
The real payoff of Gabe’s story is not the company itself. It is what the company made possible.
With his Dubai structure in place, Gabe was able to secure his Spanish residency as well, giving him the freedom to live exactly the way he wants, across two countries, without either one becoming a burden.
“This has allowed me now to get my Spanish residency too, so I can live the life I want to live, based in Ibiza during the summer, and then obviously I’ve got my Dubai setup in the winter, which allows me to move and be wherever I want in the world, because I only have to go there once every six months.”
That is the real value of good structure. Not wealth for its own sake, but freedom, the ability to live across two of the most desirable locations in the world, on his own terms, without the administrative weight of either one pulling him down.
“This is what I mean about finding a structure that works for you. You don’t need to be earning millions to have complete freedom. Find a business idea that generates good revenue, optimise the cash flow so it isn’t a problem, and let the rest work itself out.”
The Summary
Gabe Stewart did not come to GenZone for a service. He came for a solution to a problem that was genuinely limiting his ability to operate and scale internationally.
What he got was a company set up in three to four weeks during a regional conflict, a complete handling of complex legalisation requirements, and a structure that ultimately gave him the freedom to split his life between Ibiza and Dubai exactly as he wanted.
He said it himself, they solved every single problem that he needed solving.
