One Person Company Tanzania: Minimum Shareholders, Directors and the Secretary Under Cap. 212
Can one person register a company in Tanzania? On paper, yes. Sections 3 and 28 of the Companies Act, Cap. 212 R.E. 2023 allow a limited liability single shareholder company formed by an individual. In practice, BRELA's online system guidance asks for at least two shareholders and two directors, and every company needs a secretary. Most solo founders therefore register with a second shareholder.
This guide explains the one person company Tanzania rules as they stand: what the Act allows, what BRELA's Online Registration System (ORS) asks for, how many directors you need, where a nominee fits, and what a solo foreign founder pays. It covers Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar separately.
Who should read this
- Solo founders who want limited liability without bringing in a partner.
- Foreign investors planning a wholly owned Tanzanian subsidiary or a one-owner trading company.
- Parent companies abroad that want a Tanzanian subsidiary with no local partner.
- Business name owners ready to move a sole proprietorship into a company.
- Accountants and advisers asked whether a client can file with one shareholder and one director.
- Founders in Zanzibar, where a different Act and registry apply.
If you already run a registered business name, read our guide to converting a business name to a company alongside this one.
What the law says
Company formation on the Mainland rests on the Companies Act, Cap. 212 R.E. 2023, published by BRELA. Section numbers below follow the 2023 Revised Edition. Older articles cite the 2002 numbering, which is two or three sections lower in the middle of the Act.
| Section | What it governs | Status |
|---|---|---|
| s.3(1) | Two or more persons may form a company, "save for a limited liability single shareholder company formed by an individual" | Read in the BRELA text, 29 Oct 2026 |
| s.27 | Members become jointly and severally liable for debts if a company trades below two members for more than six months, except a single shareholder company | Read, 29 Oct 2026 |
| s.28 | A single shareholder company "shall be formed by one member"; register entries; fine of TZS 5 million or two years' imprisonment for breach | Read, 29 Oct 2026 |
| s.29 | A private company restricts share transfers, has no more than fifty members and may not invite the public to subscribe | Settled |
| s.15 | Statement delivered on registration, including directors, secretary and beneficial owner particulars | Settled |
| s.189 | Number of directors | Governing section; wording to confirm |
| s.190 and s.191 | Secretary; acts done by one person in a dual capacity | Governing sections |
| s.197 | Minimum age for appointment of directors | Governing section; age to confirm |
| ss.456 and 469 | Register of beneficial owners; submission of beneficial ownership information | Settled |
The single shareholder rule is not new. A 2012 amendment added it, and the Minister made the Companies (Limited Liability Single Shareholder Company) Regulations in 2014, according to Victory Attorneys. What has lagged is the registry practice.
Can one person register a company in Tanzania?
The statute says yes, for an individual. Section 3(1) carves the single shareholder company out of the "two or more persons" rule. Section 28(2) then requires the register of members to name the sole member and state that the company has only one member.
Practice is less settled. BRELA's ORS frequently asked questions walk applicants through the form step by step. They tell users to enter details of "wakurugenzi wa kampuni angalau wawili" (at least two directors) and "wanahisa wasiopungua wawili" (no fewer than two shareholders). Victory Attorneys reported in 2022, republished in 2024, that the Registrar had not yet opened the separate register the 2014 Regulations require.
So the honest answer has two parts. The law permits a one person company owned by an individual. Whether ORS will accept one on the day you file is a question for BRELA, and most founders sidestep it with a second shareholder. Ask BRELA in writing before you plan around a single-member filing.
Three limits apply even where ORS accepts the filing:
- Individuals only. Section 3(1) speaks of a company "formed by an individual". A corporate parent cannot be the sole member under section 28.
- Personal exposure. Section 27(2) says the single shareholder who contravenes the Act may be sued personally and in his own name.
- Officers still needed. One shareholder does not mean one officer. The director and secretary rules below still apply.
How many shareholders does a private company need?
Outside the single shareholder route, the minimum is two members and the maximum is fifty. Section 3(1) sets the floor at two subscribers. Section 29 caps a private company at fifty members, not counting employees and former employees who stayed on, and counts joint holders as one.
Each subscriber must take at least one share under section 5. A 99:1 split is lawful. The Act sets no minimum percentage for the second shareholder.
Falling below two after incorporation has a price. Under section 27(1), if membership drops below two and the company trades for more than six months, every member who knows of it becomes jointly and severally liable for company debts contracted after those six months. That is the end of limited liability for that period. A death, an exit or a share transfer to the other holder can trigger it. Our guide to share transfers in Tanzania covers how to keep two names on the register.
How many directors does a Tanzanian company need?
Plan on two. Section 189, headed "Number of directors", governs the point. We could not read its operative words this session, so we do not quote it. BRELA's ORS guidance asks for at least two directors, and practitioners read the Act the same way, as our guide to directors' duties records.
For a single shareholder company, Victory Attorneys report that regulation 6 of the 2014 Regulations requires at least two officers, one of them a director. They add that a sole director may not also act as secretary. On that reading, a one person company could have one director and a separate secretary, but ORS still prompts for two directors.
Must a director live in Tanzania?
No general rule requires it. Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr states there is "no specific requirement for a director to be a resident of Tanzania". It adds that the company TIN process needs a director's biometrics, so a resident director is common. Some sector laws, such as mining, do impose residence conditions.
BRELA's company registration page asks for each director's NIDA number, or a passport for a foreign national, and each director's TIN. A non-resident foreign director therefore needs a TIN before the filing goes in.
Is there a minimum age?
Section 197 governs the minimum age for appointment. Confirm the age in the Revised Edition before appointing a young family member.
Does a one person company need a company secretary?
Yes. Section 190 requires every company to have a secretary. Section 191 stops one person counting twice where the Act needs a director and the secretary to act. ORS has a separate screen for the secretary's details.
The practical effect is that a solo founder cannot run the company alone on paper. If you are the only director, someone else must be secretary. Many founders appoint a professional secretary. Our guide to the company secretary in Tanzania covers who qualifies.
Signing also needs two people. Under section 41, a document is executed by a director and the secretary, or by two directors. Banks usually build their mandates around the same pairing.
Can a company be a shareholder, and can it be the only one?
A body corporate can hold shares in a Tanzanian company. A foreign parent is common. It cannot be the sole member under section 28, because the single shareholder route is for an individual.
A wholly owned subsidiary therefore needs a second member. Groups usually use a second group company holding one share. Two limits apply:
- No upstream holdings. Section 26 makes void an allotment or transfer of shares to a subsidiary of the company itself.
- Corporate documents. Section 15 requires a certificate of incorporation for a corporate officer, and BRELA's forms ask for corporate shareholder details.
The corporate route still ends at natural persons. The beneficial owners above the parent must be disclosed, as the next section explains.
How do nominee shareholders work, and what must be disclosed?
A nominee is a registered holder who holds shares for someone else. Tanzanian law permits the arrangement, but it does not hide anything. Section 125 of Cap. 212, headed "Trusts not to be entered on register", keeps the trust off the register of members. The beneficial ownership rules then put it on the record at BRELA.
The Companies (Beneficial Ownership) Regulations, 2023, GN 478 of 2023 set the mechanics:
- At incorporation, the company submits its beneficial owners' particulars to the Registrar (reg. 3(1)).
- A registered owner who does not hold the beneficial interest files a declaration with the company, Form No. 14d in the 2023 text, within 30 days (reg. 4(1)).
- The company lodges the declaration particulars with the Registrar within 30 days of receipt (reg. 4(3)).
- Offences carry a fine of TZS 5 million to TZS 10 million (reg. 10).
The 2026 forms set issued under GN 82 of 2026 renumbered the beneficial ownership forms into the 15 series. The fee register prices each beneficial ownership form at TZS 22,000, with late filing at TZS 2,500 a month (F0019). Direct beneficial owners are filed through BRELA's beneficial ownership system.
A nominee also needs private paper: a declaration of trust, a signed but undated share transfer and a voting undertaking. Our guide to the nominee shareholder agreement sets out the sequence. For the filing side, see beneficial ownership compliance. A nominee used to hide ownership from a regulator or a bank is a different matter, and that question belongs with an advocate.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Tanzanian company?
Generally yes. The Companies Act sets no nationality test for shareholders. A foreign individual can hold 99% with one share elsewhere, or 100% through the single shareholder route if ORS accepts it.
Two other regimes limit what the company may do:
- Reserved activities. The Business Licensing (Prohibition of Business Activities for Non-Citizens) Order, GN 487A of 2025, published on 28 July 2025, closes 15 activities to non-citizens. They include retail and wholesale trade outside supermarkets and specialised outlets, mobile money, salons, tour guiding, clearing and forwarding, and micro and small industries (Bowmans, 30 July 2025). A non-citizen in breach faces a fine of not less than TZS 10 million (F0889).
- Sector ownership rules. Some sectors, mining among them, set local ownership or residence conditions of their own.
Fronting a reserved activity through a Tanzanian nominee is not a fix. GN 487A also penalises a citizen who assists a non-citizen, with a fine of TZS 5 million (F0890). Investment incentives and land run through TISEZA, which replaced TIC on 1 July 2025. Confirm any capital threshold with TISEZA before quoting it.
Which structure suits a solo founder?
A company is one of five routes. The right one depends on citizenship, liability and who the customers are.
| Structure | Owners | Limited liability | Open to foreigners | Main government fees |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business name (sole proprietor) | One person | No | No; citizens only (F0022) | TZS 15,000 to register (F0022); TZS 5,000 a year (F0023) |
| Single shareholder company, s.28 | One individual | Yes | Yes, in law | Name TZS 50,000 (F0003); registration by capital band (F0001); stamp duty (NEW-02-26) |
| Private company, two shareholders | Two to fifty | Yes | Yes, subject to GN 487A | As above, plus TZS 22,000 per beneficial ownership form where a nominee holds (F0019) |
| Subsidiary of a foreign company | Parent plus a second member | Yes | Yes | As for a private company |
| Branch of a foreign company, Part XII | The foreign company | Liability stays with the parent | Yes | TZS 2,000,000 to file the constitution (F0015); TZS 600,000 per other document (F0016) |
A business name is the cheapest route for a citizen, but it is not a separate legal person. Our business name registration guide explains the trade-off. A branch suits an established foreign company that wants to trade under its own name. It costs more to register and files its parent's accounts with BRELA. Our foreign company registration service handles that route.
What does BRELA ORS ask for?
Registration runs on BRELA's Online Registration System. The FAQ and the registration page together give this checklist.
| Item | Who provides it | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Applicant's NIDA number, or passport for a non-citizen | The person filing | BRELA registration page; FAQ |
| Registered office address in Tanzania | Company | FAQ; s.15 |
| At least two directors, each with NIDA or passport and TIN | Directors | FAQ; registration page |
| Company secretary's details | Secretary | FAQ; s.190 |
| Share capital and at least two shareholders with their shares | Shareholders | FAQ |
| Memorandum and articles of association | Founders | Registration page; s.15 |
| Consolidated form, signed and scanned, and the integrity form | Directors and secretary | FAQ; registration page |
| Beneficial owner particulars | Company | s.15; GN 478 of 2023 reg. 3 |
| Payment against a GePG control number | Company | FAQ |
The fees come from the BRELA companies fee schedule and the Zatra fee register:
| Item | Amount | Register ID |
|---|---|---|
| Name reservation | TZS 50,000 | F0003 |
| Registration, capital over TZS 1 million to 5 million | TZS 175,000 | F0001 |
| Registration, capital over TZS 5 million to 20 million | TZS 260,000 | F0001 |
| Registration, capital over TZS 20 million to 50 million | TZS 290,000 | F0001 |
| Stamp duty on the memorandum and on the articles | TZS 10,000 each | NEW-02-26 |
| Beneficial ownership form, each | TZS 22,000 | F0019 |
| Any other document filed | TZS 22,000 | F0005 |
Stamp duty is a TRA charge under the Stamp Duty Act. Our guide to the memorandum and articles of association covers the drafting. Registration is not a licence to trade. The company still needs a TIN and a business licence, Class A through BRELA's TNBP portal or Class B through the council, under the Business Licensing Act, Cap. 101.
Mainland and Zanzibar: are the minimums the same?
Zanzibar has its own Companies Act No. 15 of 2013, its own registrar, the Business and Property Registration Agency (BPRA), and its own revenue authority. A Mainland certificate is not a Zanzibar registration. BPRA publishes the Act on its company acts page, but its site blocked automated reading this session, so we did not read the Zanzibar text.
| Point | Mainland | Zanzibar |
|---|---|---|
| Statute | Companies Act, Cap. 212 R.E. 2023 | Companies Act No. 15 of 2013 |
| Registrar | BRELA, through ORS | BPRA, through its own online system |
| Minimum members | Two; one individual under s.28 | Single-shareholder companies reported as allowed; confirm with BPRA |
| Minimum directors | Two in ORS practice; s.189 governs | Not verified this session; confirm with BPRA |
| Secretary | Required, s.190 | Not verified this session; confirm with BPRA |
| Beneficial ownership | GN 478 of 2023, BRELA portal | Zanzibar rules; confirm with BPRA |
| Fees | Zatra fee register IDs above | BPRA schedule; not in the Mainland register |
Eden Law Chambers (23 March 2026) reports that "Zanzibar allows single-shareholder companies". Treat that as a lead to confirm with BPRA, not a settled rule.
Mainland companies operating in Zanzibar had a short-lived duty to form a Zanzibar subsidiary. A 2021 Zanzibar Finance Act amended section 238 of the 2013 Act to require it (Bowmans, 6 October 2021). The Written Laws (Miscellaneous Amendment) Act No. 10 of 2022 then repealed section 238(3) (PKF, 25 September 2023). Read our guide on registering a company in Zanzibar with BPRA for the current filing route.
Worked example: a solo foreign founder with TZS 20 million capital
Lena (a hypothetical founder) is a German software consultant moving to Dar es Salaam. She wants a company, Kilele Digital Limited (hypothetical), with nominal capital of TZS 20,000,000 in 20,000 shares of TZS 1,000. She is the only investor.
Option A: single shareholder company. Lena holds all 20,000 shares under section 28. She asks BRELA in writing whether ORS will accept a single-member filing. If it will, she still needs two officers. She is one director, and a professional firm acts as secretary.
Option B: two shareholders. Lena holds 19,800 shares (99%). A second person holds 200 shares (1%). If that person holds for Lena, it is a nominee holding. The declaration goes to the company and then to BRELA. Directors are Lena and a Tanzanian resident director, which also helps with the company TIN biometrics. A professional secretary is appointed.
| Government charge | Option A | Option B | Register ID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name reservation | TZS 50,000 | TZS 50,000 | F0003 |
| Registration, capital band over 5 million to 20 million | TZS 260,000 | TZS 260,000 | F0001 |
| Stamp duty, memorandum and articles | TZS 20,000 | TZS 20,000 | NEW-02-26 |
| Nominee declaration lodged with BRELA | None | TZS 22,000 | F0019 |
| Registration total | TZS 330,000 | TZS 352,000 |
After incorporation, the costs are the same for both options. If the council licenses the activity as business consultancy, the foreign-owned Class B rate is USD 2,000 for the principal place (F0860). If it uses "any other consultancy", the rate is USD 3,000 (F0861). At an illustrative TZS 2,500 to the dollar, that is TZS 5,000,000 or TZS 7,500,000. The council assigns the row, and the control number amount governs.
Lena's own permits are separate from the company. A Class A work permit for an investor costs USD 1,000 (F0413). A Class A residence permit filed directly costs USD 3,000 for an A-3 investor (F0405).
The registration difference between the options is TZS 22,000. The real difference is risk. Option A depends on ORS accepting the filing. Option B depends on a reliable second holder and a clean paper trail.
What to do now
- Check the activity first. Confirm the business is not on the GN 487A reserved list and has no sector ownership rule.
- Ask BRELA about a single-member filing. If you want the section 28 route, get BRELA's answer in writing before you draft.
- Pick the second shareholder. If you use two members, choose someone you trust, and decide whether they hold for themselves or as nominee.
- Sign the nominee papers first. Execute the declaration of trust, undated transfer and voting undertaking before incorporation.
- Line up the officers. Name two directors and a separate secretary, and get each director's TIN.
- Reserve the name and file on ORS. Pay the name fee, upload the constitution and forms, and pay against the GePG control number.
- File the beneficial owners. Lodge the nominee declaration and direct beneficial owners within the 30-day windows.
- Licence before trading. Take the TIN and the business licence before the first invoice, and apply for any work and residence permits separately.
Key dates
| When | What | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Before filing | Name reservation, officer TINs and nominee documents in place | BRELA FAQ; F0003 |
| On incorporation | Beneficial owner particulars submitted with the registration | s.15; GN 478 reg. 3(1) |
| Within 30 days of a nominee declaration | Company lodges it with the Registrar | GN 478 reg. 4(3); F0019 |
| Before trading | TIN and business licence in hand | Cap. 101 |
| Six months below two members | Members who know become liable for debts contracted after that | s.27(1) |
| When a sole member company gains a second member | Register records the former sole member, a cessation statement and the date | s.28(3) |
| Each year | Annual return to BRELA, TZS 22,000 | s.131; F0007 |
Two dates frame the foreign ownership rules. TISEZA replaced TIC on 1 July 2025, and GN 487A was published on 28 July 2025.
How Zatra helps
Zatra's business registration service prepares the ORS file, the constitution and the shareholder structure. Our corporate secretarial team can act as company secretary, and our beneficial ownership service handles the nominee and owner filings. Foreign founders can pair this with TISEZA investor registration.
Costs come in two separate buckets. Government fees are paid at the official amount to BRELA, TRA and the council, against each authority's GePG control number. Zatra's professional fee is quoted on its own line and never mixed with them.
BRELA, BPRA, TRA and the licensing authorities decide every filing. Zatra prepares and coordinates, but does not decide or guarantee any authority's outcome. Disputes between shareholders, challenges to a nominee holding, prosecutions and formal legal opinions go to an advocate.

Frequently asked questions
Can I be the only shareholder and the only director?
Not in a way that works on the register today. Even a section 28 company needs a secretary who is not the sole director, as reported from regulation 6 of the 2014 Regulations. ORS also prompts for two directors. Expect at least two officers, and usually two directors plus a secretary.
Can my spouse or a relative be the second shareholder?
Yes. Any adult individual or a company can be the second member. If the relative holds the shares for you rather than for themselves, that is a nominee holding and must be declared under GN 478 of 2023. If they hold in their own right, they own those shares and can deal with them.
Does the second shareholder have to be Tanzanian?
No. The Companies Act sets no nationality test for members. Two foreign shareholders can form a Mainland company. Nationality matters for the business licence, GN 487A reserved activities, sector ownership rules and land, not for the register of members.
What happens if my co-shareholder dies or leaves?
Membership drops to one unless the shares pass to someone else. Under section 27, if the company keeps trading for more than six months with fewer than two members, a member who knows of it shares liability for debts contracted after that. Bring in a new member, or convert to a section 28 company if BRELA accepts it.
Can a trust or a partnership be a shareholder?
Section 125 keeps trusts off the register of members, so shares are registered in the names of trustees, who appear as holders. A partnership has no separate legal personality, so its shares sit in the partners' names. In both cases the people who benefit must be disclosed as beneficial owners.
Is a one person company cheaper to register than a two-shareholder company?
Barely. BRELA charges by nominal capital, not by number of members. The only difference in our example is the TZS 22,000 beneficial ownership form for a nominee (F0019). The real savings or costs sit in professional fees, the nominee paperwork and the risk of an ORS query.
Can a business name be turned into a one person company later?
Yes. The owner incorporates a company and transfers the business to it. A citizen can do this as sole member under section 28 if ORS allows, or with a second shareholder. The business name is then ceased, with a TZS 10,000 notice of cessation (F0024).
Does a single shareholder company still hold an annual general meeting?
Section 136 governs the annual general meeting and section 150 provides for written resolutions. A sole member normally records decisions in writing. Confirm with the company secretary how your articles handle members' decisions, and keep the signed written resolutions in the minute book.
