Real Results for Real Businesses in Tanzania.

What We've Helped Achieve

A look at how we've helped investors across different industries register, structure, and stay compliant in Tanzania.

Trading & Import

Foreign-Owned Trading Company — Dar es Salaam

Challenge

A foreign investor needed to register a trading company quickly and understand which licences applied before their first shipment arrived.

What We Did

We handled BRELA registration, TIN application, and identified the specific import and trading licences required, coordinating each step so nothing held up the shipment.

Outcome

Registered and fully licensed in time for the company's first import, with tax registration completed in the same window.

Trading & Import

Trading Company — Zanzibar

Challenge

An international business needed to decide between registering on the Mainland or in Zanzibar, and wasn't sure which jurisdiction fit their operations.

What We Did

We walked through the trade-offs for their specific business activity and target market, then managed the Zanzibar registration and initial tax setup end-to-end.

Outcome

Registered under the jurisdiction that matched their operations, avoiding a costly restructure later.

Hospitality

Boutique Hotel — Zanzibar

Challenge

A hospitality investor needed to secure land, register the business, and understand the specific tax treatment of accommodation revenue.

What We Did

We supported the land acquisition process, registered the business with the correct licences, and set up accounting structured around occupancy and seasonal revenue.

Outcome

Opened on schedule with tax registration, licensing, and financial reporting in place from day one.

Construction

Construction Contractor — Dar es Salaam

Challenge

A contractor juggling multiple projects had no clear view of which jobs were actually profitable, and was unsure about VAT treatment on contracts.

What We Did

We rebuilt their accounting around project-based cost tracking and corrected the VAT and withholding tax treatment on active contracts.

Outcome

Clear profitability visibility across every active project, with tax filings brought fully up to date.
