# Acquisition Due Diligence Checklist — Orientation Sheet

**Status:** Interactive v1 live (client-side) · 2026-09-04
**Cluster:** 9 · Exit and acquisition diligence  
**Last reviewed:** 2026-09-04  
**Instrument type:** Decision checklist (qualification sheet)

This sheet is published content. It is **not** a determination by a mandate-holder. Zatra prepares and coordinates; this is not legal advice and names no advocate.

## Why this magnet exists

List register, tax, people and hidden-licence red flags on a Tanzanian target before capital moves.

## Qualification fields (fill before you contact the desk)

| Field | Your note |
|:---|:---|
| **Target / registry** | |
| **Registers / BO** | |
| **Tax position known** | |
| **People / permits** | |
| **Licence map** | |

## Orientation checks (self-serve)

1. **Red flags first.** Registers, tax, people, licences.
2. **Eligibility.** Reserved activities can void the thesis.
3. **Documents mean what they say.** Clearance ≠ blanket warranty.
4. **No invented rates.**

## What this sheet deliberately does not do

- Issue a legal opinion
- Replace BRELA, TRA or sector regulators
- Interactive v1 is live — deepen the full DD checklist instrument
