Questions
How many people do I need?
Most Pvt Ltd companies are filed with at least two directors. If you are on your own, a PBC may suit you better, or message us and we will advise.
Can foreigners be directors?
Yes. At least one director should normally live in Zimbabwe. Foreign directors give passport details instead of a national ID.
What if none of my names are available?
We search your names in order and reserve the first available one. If none is free, we come back to you for more options before anything is filed.
What happens after registration?
You register with ZIMRA for a TIN, open a bank account, register with NSSA if you employ people, and file annual returns. We can help with each step.
