Keep the company file clean after registration — statutory records, resolutions, corporate updates and retained post-formation support.
Direct answer
What are corporate services in Tanzania?
Corporate services keep statutory records, resolutions, director and shareholder updates and the public BRELA file consistent after incorporation — so banks, licences and audits are not blocked by a stale register.
Best for
Companies that need statutory records, resolutions and governance hygiene after formation.
Main delay
Missing prior resolutions, incomplete registers, unclear change authority, and scattered filing history.

Keep the company file clean after incorporation.
A company can be registered but still poorly maintained. Missing resolutions, outdated shareholder records, incomplete statutory files, and undocumented changes can affect banking, licensing, audits, investor due diligence, and compliance.
Zatra’s Corporate Services desk helps directors keep the company file current and board-ready. This is especially important for investor-backed companies, companies preparing for licences, companies opening bank accounts, and companies with changing ownership or management.

How to pick a page
One instrument per file. Not the whole inventory.
Most briefs need three or four pages, not forty-six. Start on the formation spine. Advisory sits after the company exists.

Frequently asked questions.
Is corporate services the same as compliance?
They overlap. Corporate services focus on company records, resolutions, registers, and governance. Compliance focuses more on filing calendars, tax, licences, and renewals.
Can Zatra support director or shareholder changes?
Yes, subject to document review, authority requirements, and proper approvals.
Why do statutory records matter?
They support banking, licensing, due diligence, audits, ownership clarity, and investor confidence.
Can services be retained monthly or annually?
Yes. Support can be scoped per matter or structured as a retained service.
