This photo may get zero likes—and honestly, that’s okay.

We are not celebrating a birthday, graduation or wedding. We simply decided to pause everything and spend some time together as a family.

Nothing expensive. Nothing extraordinary. Just our little family creating memories from an ordinary day.

Life moves quickly. Work never ends, responsibilities keep growing and children do not remain children forever.

One day, we will look back at pictures like these and realise that these ordinary moments were actually the best days of our lives.

Family time is never wasted.

YOUR COMPANY IS REGISTERED. BUT IS IT TENDER-READY? 🇿🇼

A Certificate of Incorporation alone will not win you a government tender.

Many businesses wait until a tender is closing before looking for tax clearance, PRAZ registration, a vendor number and supporting documents.

By then, it is usually too late.

Here is what you should prepare before the opportunity comes.

HOW TO START YOUR OWN COMPANY IN ZIMBABWE — PART 3

1. Keep your tax affairs up to date

You will often be asked for a valid ZIMRA Tax Clearance Certificate, commonly known as an ITF263.

You do not simply buy a tax clearance.

ZIMRA says the certificate is automatically generated through TaRMS and emailed to taxpayers whose tax position is compliant. This means your registrations, returns and payments must be in order.

Do not wait for a tender deadline before checking your tax position.

Log into TaRMS regularly and make sure:

* Your company details are correct
* Required tax returns have been submitted
* Outstanding tax issues have been addressed
* The email address on the account is working
* Your current tax clearance is available

A company can be registered but still fail compliance checks.

2. Register with PRAZ in the correct category

Businesses wishing to take part in public procurement should register through Zimbabwe’s electronic Government Procurement system — eGP.

The online process includes creating an account, verifying your email by OTP, completing the organisation profile, adding directors and shareholders, uploading supporting documents and selecting the supplier categories you need.

Choose categories that match what your business genuinely supplies.

For example:

* Printing and stationery
* Corporate wear
* Construction services
* ICT equipment
* Catering
* Cleaning services
* Transport
* Consultancy
* Agricultural supplies

Being registered in an unrelated category will not help when the tender requires proof of registration in the relevant PRAZ category. Current tenders on the eGP platform specifically request valid proof of registration in the category connected to the goods or services being purchased.

The current annual supplier-registration fees shown on eGP are:

* Micro Enterprise: US$50
* Small or Medium Enterprise: US$60
* Other local entity: US$75
* Foreign supplier: US$850

Local bidders may also settle in ZiG at the applicable rate. Confirm the amount displayed on the eGP platform before paying, as fees and exchange rates can change.

PRAZ registration does not guarantee that you will win a tender.

It gives you the opportunity to participate.

3. Understand what a vendor number is

A vendor number and PRAZ registration are not the same thing.

PRAZ registration relates to public procurement and tender participation.

A government vendor number places your business on the Public Finance Management System used for supplier administration and payment processing.

The Ministry of Finance currently lists documents such as:

* Application letter from a director
* Certificate of Incorporation
* Current company forms showing directors
* Valid tax clearance
* Identification documents for directors
* Current company bank statement
* Proof of residence
* Company contact and banking information

The Ministry’s current page also states that vendor registration is renewed annually. For local businesses, it lists an initial registration fee of US$250 and an annual renewal fee of US$150. Confirm the latest requirements before submitting your application.

Most importantly, the name on your company documents must match the name on the company bank account.

Small differences in spelling can cause unnecessary delays.

4. Register for VAT when it applies to your business

Not every newly registered company must immediately register for VAT.

ZIMRA currently states that compulsory VAT registration applies when taxable supplies exceed, or are expected to exceed, US$25,000 or the ZiG equivalent within 12 months. Voluntary registration may also be considered where the required conditions are met.

VAT registration is completed through TaRMS by adding VAT as a new tax type to the taxpayer profile.

From 1 January 2026, Zimbabwe’s standard VAT rate changed from 15% to 15.5%.

Once registered, the company must properly:

* Charge VAT where applicable
* Issue compliant tax invoices
* Keep VAT records
* Submit returns on time
* Account for VAT collected
* Follow applicable fiscalisation requirements

Do not register for VAT merely to make the company look bigger.

Register because it is compulsory or because you have received proper advice that voluntary registration makes sense for your business.

5. Prepare a tender file before you need it

Create one clearly labelled physical file and one digital folder containing:

* Certificate of Incorporation
* Memorandum and Articles or PBC documents
* Current company forms
* Directors’ IDs
* Valid tax clearance
* PRAZ certificate for the relevant categories
* Vendor-number documents
* Company bank details
* Company profile
* Relevant licences
* NSSA compliance documents where applicable
* VAT certificate where applicable
* Product catalogue or service portfolio
* Client reference letters
* Previous purchase orders and contracts
* Proof of similar completed work
* Quotations and pricing templates
* Financial statements where required

Do not submit the same collection of documents blindly for every tender.

Read each tender from beginning to end.

A current eGP tender may ask you to state your delivery period, payment terms, quotation validity, relevant PRAZ category, past performance and willingness to issue a fiscalised tax invoice. Another tender may have completely different requirements.

6. Build evidence that your company can deliver

Compliance gets you through the door.

Capacity helps you compete.

Build your company’s record through smaller private-sector and community jobs first.

Keep:

* Before-and-after photographs
* Signed delivery notes
* Customer testimonials
* Reference letters
* Purchase orders
* Invoices and receipts
* Completion certificates
* Product samples
* Staff qualifications
* Equipment and vehicle records

Do not claim experience you cannot prove.

Tender evaluators may consider past performance, delivery capacity, technical specifications and price—not just company registration. Current eGP opportunities openly state that past performance may be considered.

YOUR TENDER-READY CHECKLIST

☐ Company documents are complete and correct
☐ ZIMRA returns and payments are up to date
☐ Current tax clearance is available
☐ PRAZ registration is valid
☐ The correct supplier categories were selected
☐ Vendor number is ready where required
☐ Business bank account is active
☐ VAT registration is complete where applicable
☐ Required licences are valid
☐ Company profile is professionally prepared
☐ References and proof of previous work are organised
☐ Tender documents are stored in one secure folder

A tender is not something you start preparing for on the closing day.

Prepare your company first.

Then when an opportunity appears, you can focus on submitting a strong bid instead of running around looking for documents.

COMING IN PART 4

We will cover:

* Where to find genuine tenders in Zimbabwe
* How to search opportunities on eGP
* How to read tender requirements
* Common reasons bids are rejected
* How to prepare and submit a quotation
* What to check before pressing submit

HOW TO START YOUR OWN COMPANY IN ZIMBABWE — PART 2

In Part 1, we covered the business idea, company structure, proposed names, ownership and the information needed for registration.

Now let us make the business official and prepare it to operate properly.

1. Register the company

Submit the approved company name together with the required information for the directors, shareholders or PBC members.

Once registration has been approved, collect all the official company documents.

Do not accept only a photograph of the certificate on WhatsApp. Ask for clear digital copies of every document and keep printed copies in a safe place.

2. Check every document carefully

For a Private Limited Company, the documents will ordinarily include:

• Certificate of Incorporation
• Memorandum and Articles of Association
• CR5 showing the registered office
• CR6 showing the directors and secretary

For a Private Business Corporation, check the Certificate of Incorporation and the PBC incorporation statement, known as CR28.

Check that:

• Every name is correctly spelt
• National ID or passport details are correct
• The company address is correct
• The right people appear as directors, shareholders or members
• Ownership details match what was agreed
• The company’s activities are properly described

Do not wait until you are opening an account or submitting a tender to discover a mistake.

3. Register the business with ZIMRA

Company registration and tax registration are not the same thing.

Register the organisation through ZIMRA’s TaRMS Self-Service Portal. After the application has been approved, the business receives a Taxpayer Identification Number — TIN.

ZIMRA states that taxpayer registration is mandatory for people and organisations carrying on trade or business in Zimbabwe.

Prepare:

• Company registration number
• Company email address
• Business address
• Directors’ and shareholders’ details
• Public officer’s details
• Public officer’s National ID and email address
• Description of the business

Use a phone number and email address that you can access. Important verification codes, notices and certificates may be sent there.

4. Open a business bank account

Approach your preferred bank and ask for its current corporate-account requirements.

The bank may request company documents, IDs, proof of address, tax details, resolutions and information about the authorised signatories.

Requirements differ between banks, so confirm before submitting.

Once the account is open, avoid mixing personal and company money.

A separate account will help you track:

• Customer payments
• Business expenses
• Supplier payments
• Salaries
• Taxes
• Profit and cash flow

5. Check which licences apply to your business

A Certificate of Incorporation does not automatically cover every type of business activity.

Depending on what you do, you may need a council business licence, shop licence, health registration, food-handling approval, professional registration or an industry-specific permit.

For example, the City of Harare publishes separate business, shop and health-licensing forms and checklists. Requirements may differ according to the business activity and local authority.

Check before opening your premises or investing heavily in equipment.

6. Register with NSSA when you employ people

You do not need to register with NSSA simply because you have received a company certificate.

The obligation arises when the business becomes an employer.

NSSA states that employers must register within 30 days of becoming an employer through its online registration system.

Do not wait until a client or tender requests an NSSA compliance certificate.

7. Set up proper business records

Before customers start paying you, prepare:

• Quotation template
• Invoice template
• Receipt template
• Delivery note
• Customer records
• Supplier records
• Expense records
• Basic bookkeeping system
• Company email address
• Secure document folder

Keep receipts for every business expense.

You may think they do not matter while the business is still small, but proper records will make accounting, tax filing and decision-making much easier later.

Your Part 2 checklist

☐ Company successfully registered
☐ All documents received and checked
☐ Printed and digital copies safely stored
☐ ZIMRA registration completed
☐ TIN received
☐ Business bank account opened
☐ Required licences identified
☐ NSSA registration completed when employing people
☐ Quotations, invoices and record-keeping systems prepared

Registering the company gives the business a legal identity.

What you do after registration determines whether it becomes a properly run company or simply a certificate sitting in a drawer.

Coming in Part 3

We will cover:

• Staying tax-compliant and obtaining tax clearance
• PRAZ and eGP supplier registration
• Preparing for government tenders
• Government vendor numbers
• VAT registration
• The documents every tender-ready company should keep

Which part of setting up your company has been the most confusing for you?

You only understand the importance of having a laptop when you urgently need one and have to borrow.

Maybe an assignment is due.

A client needs a quotation.

You want to prepare a proper CV.

You need to apply for a job, attend an online interview or learn a new skill.

That is when you realise a laptop is no longer just a luxury.

For a student, it is a classroom, a library and a research tool.

For a business owner, it is an office for quotations, invoices, records, adverts and communication.

For a job seeker, it is a tool for applications, interviews and finding new opportunities.

For someone trying to grow, it gives you the chance to learn, create, work and build something of your own.

A phone can do many things, but some work is simply easier, faster and more professional on a laptop.

You do not need the most expensive one.

You need the right one for your studies, work or business.

Do not buy a laptop just for entertainment.

Buy it to learn.
Buy it to work.
Buy it to create opportunities.

💻 A laptop is not just a gadget. It is an investment in yourself.

Be honest: what would you mainly use a laptop for — school, business, work or learning a new skill?

BEFORE YOU REGISTER A COMPANY IN ZIMBABWE, READ THIS FIRST 🇿🇼

A lot of people rush to register a company because they have found a good name.

But a company name is not the business.

Before you pay anyone or submit anything, there are a few things you need to sort out first.

HOW TO START YOUR OWN COMPANY IN ZIMBABWE — PART 1

1. KNOW WHAT THE BUSINESS WILL ACTUALLY DO

Do not start with the name.

Start with the business itself.

Ask yourself:

What am I selling?
Who will buy from me?
Why should they choose me?
How will the business make money?

You do not need ten services.

You can start with one product, one service or one skill and grow from there.

The important thing is to be clear.

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT COMPANY TYPE

The two common options are a PBC and a Private Limited Company.

A PBC can work well for a small, owner-managed business.

A Private Limited Company may be better when you want shareholders, investors, bigger contracts or room to grow.

Do not choose simply because one is cheaper.

Choose based on where you want the business to go.

3. PREPARE MORE THAN ONE COMPANY NAME

Do not fall in love with one name.

It may already be taken or too similar to another registered business.

Prepare at least three to five names.

Choose names that are:

Easy to spell
Easy to remember
Professional
Suitable for future growth

Try not to choose a name that limits you too much.

You may start with one service today and expand later.

4. BE CLEAR ABOUT OWNERSHIP

This is where many people make mistakes.

Before registration, agree on:

Who owns the business
Who will be a director or member
How ownership will be shared
Who will manage the company
Who will make major decisions

Do not give someone shares just because they helped with the idea, logo or first customer.

Shares mean ownership.

Friendship is not a business agreement.

Talk properly before you register.

5. PREPARE YOUR DETAILS

You will need:

Three to five company names
Full names of the owners
National ID or passport details
Residential addresses
Phone numbers
Email addresses
Company address
Business activities
Ownership percentages

Check every detail before submission.

One wrong spelling or ID number can cause unnecessary problems later.

YOUR CHECKLIST

☐ I know what the business will do
☐ I know who my customers are
☐ I have chosen between a PBC and Private Limited Company
☐ I have at least three company names
☐ Ownership has been agreed
☐ IDs, addresses and contact details are ready
☐ I have a company address

Once these are ready, you can move to the actual registration stage.

PART 2 WILL COVER:

Company registration
Company documents
ZIMRA registration
TIN number
Business bank account
Basic compliance

Which stage are you at right now?

A — I only have an idea
B — I am choosing a name
C — I am not sure whether to choose a PBC or Pvt Ltd
D — I am ready to register

Comment A, B, C or D.

Save this post. You may need it later.

And share it with someone who is always saying:

“One day I will start my own company.”

If I lost everything today and only had $100 to my name...

I wouldn't spend it trying to look successful.

No expensive office.

No flashy phone.

No trying to impress people.

I'd invest in learning a skill that solves a real problem, then use whatever was left to find my first customer.

That's where I'd start.

Looking back, I've realised that money was never my biggest advantage.

Experience was.

Knowing what works.

Knowing what doesn't.

Knowing that one happy customer is worth more than a hundred likes.

If this journey has taught me anything, it's that businesses aren't built by having the most money. They're built by showing up every day, doing good work and earning people's trust.

Would it be easy? Probably not.

Would I do it anyway? Without a doubt.

Because once you've built something from the ground up, you realise the most valuable thing you own isn't what's in your bank account. It's what you've learnt along the way.

If you woke up tomorrow with just $100, what would be your first move?

I'm genuinely interested to hear your thoughts. 👇

2019 ➡️ 2026 | Never look down on humble beginnings

The first photo was taken in rural Chiweshe in 2019.

Life was not easy. We went through difficult times, had limited opportunities and faced plenty of criticism from people who did not understand what we were trying to build.

Rather than explaining ourselves to everyone, we stayed focused, supported each other and kept moving.

Seven years later, by God’s grace, we now have our own company, JomeTech Africa.

We are not saying we have made it. We are still learning, still growing and still working towards bigger goals. This is simply a reminder that where you start does not have to be where you end.

To every young person and young family starting with very little: do not let hardship, criticism or comparison make you give up. Keep working, value the people who stand by you and trust the process.

Not every criticism needs a response. Sometimes the best answer is to keep building and let the results speak for themselves.
