Why We Built GenZone: Messages From Our Founders

“When I left Canada, I wasn’t running away from anything- I was running towards something better. Like most entrepreneurs, I’d spent years building businesses only to watch nearly half of what I earned disappear to taxation. It wasn’t just frustrating; it was limiting my ability to grow, reinvest, and build real wealth.

Moving to Dubai in 2022 changed everything. But what struck me most wasn’t just the tax advantage – it was how unnecessarily complicated the entire setup process was. 

Old-school firms with opaque pricing, terrible communication, and zero accountability were the norm. I thought, ‘If I struggled with this, how many other entrepreneurs are getting stuck or worse, not even attempting it?’

That’s why Shayan and I built GenZone differently. We focus on one principle: clarity. Clear timelines, clear costs, clear compliance. No surprises, no runarounds. Every client engagement is designed the way I wish mine had been -straightforward, efficient, and fully transparent.

Dubai isn’t perfect for everyone, but for those it fits, the opportunities are extraordinary. And we’re here to make sure the journey is as smooth as the destination is rewarding.”

“I didn’t wake up one day and decide to start a relocation company. It began with curiosity – trying to understand why so many successful entrepreneurs stay in high-tax jurisdictions when better alternatives exist. The more I researched international tax structures and residency frameworks, the more I realised the information was scattered, outdated, and deliberately vague.

When Kevin and I started discussing what eventually became GenZone, we weren’t focused on building the flashiest brand or the biggest marketing campaign. We wanted to solve a real problem: entrepreneurs deserve clear, compliant, and predictable relocation services. 

What frustrated both of us was the lack of accountability in this industry. Clients would pay deposits, get ghosted for weeks, then receive licenses with errors or delays. Banking would take months. Compliance issues would surface later. It was a mess, frankly.

So we built GenZone around operational excellence – not promises, but processes. Every step is documented, every timeline is realistic, and every client knows exactly where they stand. 

Dubai offers incredible opportunities for the right people, but only if you set things up properly from day one. Our job is making sure that happens – every single time.”
