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.
