Tanzania Investment Advisory & Opportunity Screening
Talk to the desk · +255 788 466 212
Structure the investment before filings — opportunity screening, ownership and regulatory path in one desk.
Direct answer
How should an investor use Zatra’s investment desk?
Screen the opportunity before company registration, JV signing, land purchase or TISEZA incentive talks. The desk turns ownership, licences, tax, banking and counterparty risk into one decision file. TISEZA support is coordination, not an incentive guarantee.

Turn an opportunity into a structured investor decision file.
Good investment advisory is not motivational talk. It converts an opportunity into a decision file: ownership route, licensing exposure, tax position, banking requirements, land or supplier risk, operational assumptions, and implementation sequence.
Zatra supports investors who need practical market-entry advice before registering a company, signing a JV, buying land, funding a project, completing TISEZA investor registration, assessing Certificate of Incentives or SEZ/EPZ routes, or negotiating with local partners.

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.
Does Zatra raise capital for investors?
Zatra can prepare decision files, structuring notes, business plans, investor memos, and feasibility packs. Fundraising itself depends on the agreed engagement.
Is investment advisory only for foreign investors?
No. Local investors, diaspora investors, SMEs, corporate groups, and regulated-sector entrants can use the service.
When should I request investment advisory?
Before company registration, land deposits, supplier payments, JV signing, permit applications, or major capital commitments.
Can Zatra advise on incentives?
Zatra can review potential incentive routes and coordinate the next steps, but eligibility must be confirmed case by case.
Is TISEZA the same as registering a company?
No. Company registration creates the legal vehicle. TISEZA investor registration is a separate investment-authority step under the Investment and Special Economic Zones Act No. 6 of 2025. Certificate of Incentives eligibility and SEZ/EPZ arrangements are further distinct from both registration steps.
