| Step | Authority | Nini it does | Nini it does not do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name na kuingizwa kwenye rejista | BRELA | Inaunda kampuni kwenye rejista | Not leseni kwa trade; si TIN; si benki account |
| Taxpayer identity | TRA | Issues kampuni TIN; VAT only if law requires it | Not ya manispaa au sekta leseni |
| Business licence | Ministry / council / sekta board | Maps ordinary na sector permissions activity | Not substitute kwa BRELA au TIN |
| Bank KYC pack | The chosen bank | Reviews incorporation, TIN, owners na activity narrative | Bank idhini ni never guaranteed — see corporate benki account opening |
