Start a Business in Zimbabwe from the Diaspora
Whether you're in London, Cape Town, Perth, or Texas — you can register, operate, and grow a Zimbabwean business remotely. Here's the step-by-step guide, plus the AI tools to make it happen.
Remote Business Setup — Step by Step
1. Register Your Company
Register with the Companies and Deeds Office via the ZIMRA e-services portal. You can appoint a local representative if you're not physically present. Most registrations take 5-10 working days.
2. Get Tax Compliant
Register for VAT, PAYE, and NSSA through ZIMRA. Our Tax Co-Pilot AI tool can guide you through the requirements and filing deadlines.
3. PRAZ Compliance
Register with the Procurement Regulatory Authority to qualify for government tenders. Our platform helps you navigate the documentation.
4. Use AI to Operate
Use Radbit's AI tools to generate business plans, track tenders, manage budgets, and get market insights — all from your phone or laptop.
