Start the setup

A principal replies within one business day · Nothing is filed before a written scope · Fees published, official charges at cost

Why the bank

Incorporation is a filing. The bank account is a review.

BRELA registers the company in days. The bank then reviews ownership, the TIN, the licence route and the source of funds as one file. A project assembled after the fact is the one that stalls.

  • A TIN applied for after the bank meeting restarts KYC.
  • A licence route left open makes the account conditional.
  • Ownership papers that differ from the BRELA filing are returned.

Our team builds the bank pack before the bank sees it. That is the order.

How our team works

Six standards. Every engagement.

The evidence and engagement standard that governs every engagement and every page on this site.

Evidence

Source of record

Zatra cites the originating institution — BRELA, TRA, TISEZA, the Bank of Tanzania, NEMC, the Mining Commission — not the publication that reported it.

Compliance

Reserved activities first

Before any process is explained to a foreign reader, the activities reserved for Tanzanians or carrying local-participation conditions are stated.

Currency

TZS invoicing

All quotes, invoices and engagement letters are issued in Tanzanian shillings; USD figures on this site are indicative.

Approvals

No guaranteed outcomes

Zatra prepares and coordinates the project. Approval rests with the authority or bank, and the scope letter says so.

Accountability

Named professionals

Every engagement names its lead, and published content is reviewed by a named professional whose credential and issuer are stated.

Engagement

Written scope before work

Nothing is filed and nothing is invoiced before a signed scope letter setting out deliverables, fee and clock.
