Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to register a company in Zimbabwe in 2026?
Registering a company in Zimbabwe through us is a flat $150 for a Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) or a Private Business Corporation (PBC), with all government fees included and the filing handled for you. The Business Package ($350) adds ZIMRA and NSSA, and the Diaspora Package ($500) is for Zimbabweans abroad. If you are a sole operator, a Private Business Corporation (PBC) is also a flat $150 and is the simplest route for a single owner.
How much is company registration in Zimbabwe?
Company registration in Zimbabwe is a flat $150 through us for a Pvt Ltd or PBC, all-inclusive. There is one fixed price with no hidden charges — we cover the name search (CR21), the registration forms, and the Certificate of Incorporation (CR2), and we handle the entire electronic filing on your behalf.
Are government fees included in the $150 price?
Yes. The flat $150 includes all government registration and filing fees — there is nothing extra to pay to any government office. You pay one price and we handle the complete filing, from name search to certificate.
Is registering a Pvt Ltd or a PBC cheaper in Zimbabwe?
Both cost the same with us — a flat $150 each, all government fees included. A PBC suits a single owner or family business, while a Pvt Ltd suits multiple shareholders, investors, and tenders. The price is identical, so choose based on structure, not cost.
How much does it cost to register a company from the diaspora?
The Diaspora Package is $500 and is built for Zimbabweans abroad who cannot file themselves without a Zimbabwean national ID. It includes the full registration plus a registered office address and a nominee company secretary for the first year, with document scanning and WhatsApp updates. We handle every step remotely.
What are the ongoing annual costs after registering a company in Zimbabwe?
After registration, a Zimbabwe company must file an annual return with the Registrar of Companies, keep its ZIMRA tax affairs current, and (for a Pvt Ltd) appoint a company secretary. Our monthly compliance retainer from $50/month covers annual returns, tax filings, and secretarial duties, with all government fees included.
Can I get a refund if my registration is rejected?
Yes. If we cannot register your company for any reason within our control, we refund your full payment. Our professional document review checks everything before submission, so rejections are extremely rare.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept EcoCash, bank transfer (any Zimbabwe bank), Mukuru, WorldRemit, Wise, and direct bank deposits. Diaspora clients typically pay via Mukuru, WorldRemit, or Wise — we send payment details on your invoice.
