Company re-registration in Zimbabwe

Once we have all the information from you that we require, you will receive the documentation required to start the process within 48 working hours.

Company re-registration will take 24 working hours.

All Zimbabwean registered companies are required to re-register because of 2 reasons namely—

1. To establish a new and updated register of companies and private business corporations;
2. To expunge apparently defunct business entities from the register, that is to say a company or private business corporation which appears to the Registrar to be defunct because—
   (i) it is not submitting to the Registrar the statutory returns and notices required by the repealed Acts and this Act; and
   (ii) it appears to the Registrar to be inactive, that is to say it is not being operated or is not active in business.

Your company risks being struck off the companies register and you will not be able to trade using the company. Also, your company name will be available to anyone who would want to use it.

Every Zimbabwean registered company should be re-registered by 13 February 2023.

Initially, all companies should have been re-registered by 13 February 2021 however, the deadline has been moved to 13 February 2023.

Here is what the law says regarding the shifting of the dealines.

Section 303(9) of the new Companies Act has been effectively amended as follows:

“In subsection (9) by deletion of “A company or private business corporation referred to in subsection (8), must within a period of twelve months from the effective date” and the substitution of “A company or private business corporation referred to in subsection (8), but not one referred to in subsection (23), must no later than the 13th February, 2023”

We will need your company name and company number.

If you do not re-register your company by the deadline, your company will aoyomatically be removed from the Companies Registry Companies Register.
