How to Register a Company in Zimbabwe
To register a company in Zimbabwe, you complete a name search, prepare your Memorandum and Articles of Association together with the CR14 and CR6 forms, and submit them electronically to obtain a Certificate of Incorporation (CR2). The entire process is now online and takes one to two weeks. We handle every step of the filing for you for a flat $150, with all government fees included.
Key facts (2026):
Company registration is governed by the Companies and Other Business Entities Act [Chapter 24:31] and administered by the Registrar of Companies.
The process is fully electronic — no paper queue and no office visit required.
The core statutory documents are the CR21 (name search), CR14 (directors & secretary), CR6 (registered office), the Memorandum & Articles of Association, and the CR2 (Certificate of Incorporation).
A Private Limited Company or PBC must be registered before you can register for tax with ZIMRA or open a business bank account.
Our price is a flat $150 for a Pvt Ltd or PBC, with all government fees included — we file everything for you.
