This means that the company has its own legal personality, separate from its owners, and can enter into contracts, own property, and sue or be sued in its own name and the personal assets of the shareholders are separated from the business.

In Zimbabwe, companies are registered under the Companies and Other Business Entities Act (Chapter 24:32) and the Act provides for the registration of various types of companies, including Private Limited Companies (PLC), Private Business Corporations (PBC’s), Companies Limited by Guarantee, Associations, Foreign Companies, etc.

Most companies being registered in Zimbabwe are companies limited by shares popularly known as Private Limited Companies (PLC’s). They are used to conduct normal commercial business with the purpose of the owners (shareholders) making a profit, whilst providing limited liability protection that is, the shareholders personal finances and property is protected should the company hit financial problems.

Alternatively, you can register a Private Business Corporation (PBC). This is usually registered by small businesses or proffesionals who might want to operate as individuals such as architects, accountants, business consultants etc but want to retain limited liability.

*Some types of businesses cannot be registered as a PBC e.g. pharmacies, security companies or financial services company since the requirements of the MCAZ, MOHA or the RBZ don’t accommodate a PBC.
