Registration with Business Registration and Licensing Agency (BRELA)

All enterprises, whatever their legal forms, operating in Tanzania must register with the Business Registration and Licensing Agency (BRELA) of the Ministry of Industries and Trade. The first step is to obtain name clearance from BRELA. Private companies must have at least two directors.

The application process varies depending on the entity being registered. A local company will be issued with a Certificate of Incorporation while a Certificate of Compliance will be issued to a foreign-based company. A Certificate of Compliance costs US$ 800 while the cost for a Certificate of Incorporation is TShs 240,000/=.
