FAQ

Common questions before you register.

Quick answers for clients registering from Zimbabwe or abroad. Still unsure? Start a live chat or WhatsApp us.

How much does it cost to register a company in Zimbabwe?

A Private Business Corporation (PBC) costs $120 and a Private Limited Company, (Pvt) Ltd, costs $150 with standard processing (3 working days after name search approval). Express processing (1 working day) adds $30 for a PBC or $50 for a (Pvt) Ltd. Share certificates ($10 per shareholder) are mandatory and pre-selected. ZIMRA / TIN registration with tax clearance ($80) is optional, but you need it to open a company bank account.

How do I register a company online?

Go to the online registration form, choose a PBC or a (Pvt) Ltd, submit at least three proposed names, add the directors / members and shareholders, confirm the services, then pay with Paynow. We take care of the name search, forms and electronic filing.

Do I need to visit your office?

No. The whole process can be completed online. Send copies of IDs or passports through the form or by WhatsApp, pay online and receive your documents digitally.

What is the difference between a (Pvt) Ltd and a PBC?

A Private Limited Company, (Pvt) Ltd, is the formal company structure, with shares and directors, and needs at least two people. A Private Business Corporation (PBC) is simpler and member-managed: it can have a single member and up to twenty. Both have limited liability.

Can I register from outside Zimbabwe?

Yes. Diaspora clients complete the form online and pay by Visa or Mastercard through Paynow, and receive their documents digitally.

Which payment methods do you accept?

We use Paynow for EcoCash, OneMoney, Zimswitch bank cards and Visa / Mastercard. You can also pay by bank transfer against an invoice. Use your application reference (for example PCA-00012) so we can match your payment.

Can I order other services online?

Yes. Besides company registration, an existing company can order and pay online for ZIMRA / TIN registration with tax clearance ($80) and share certificates ($10 each). For every other service (VAT and PAYE, NSSA, NEC, ZIMDEF and SDF, payroll, company changes, permits and licences) request a quote and we will confirm the documents, fees and timelines. See Taxation and Payroll.
