What is the Restricted Activity Checker today?
An orientation sheet you can complete before a scoped eligibility check. The interactive decision tool is logged incomplete until it ships. Insights answers stay ungated. No penalty figures and no advocate byline.
1 — Write the four qualification facts.
This orientation sheet is the interim Restricted Activity Checker. The interactive instrument is not live yet.
- Activity in plain language (what the business will do on day one)
- Ownership and control (nationality mix, voting vs economic rights)
- Jurisdiction (Mainland or Zanzibar — premises and legal person)
- Stage (forming, renewing, restructuring, or already trading)
2 — Orientation checks before you form or renew.
Self-serve checks. Mandate-holders still decide.
- Name the activity class, not only the brand or company name
- Do not treat incorporation as eligibility — BRELA/BPRA identity does not open a reserved class by itself
- Treat licence renewal as a re-test of eligibility on the live ownership story
- Publish no penalty figure or unverified section number from alerts; confirm the live Order and class list
- Treat EAC-citizen treatment under reserved-activity rules as a live dispute, not a settled carve-out
- Confirm Mainland vs Zanzibar before you copy a licensing map across the channel
This page is orientation, not a determination and not legal advice. No advocate is bylined.
