Quick guide to the types of Companies you can register in Zimbabwe
Private Limited Company
The majority of Company registrations in Zimbabwe are Private Limited Companies (PLC’s) also known as Private Companies. Private Limited Companies are remarkably popular because they allow the sharing of profits amongst the company’s shareholders whilst also offering restricted financial liability. The shareholders are only responsible for debts incurred by the company up to the value of the shares they hold in the company. So their personal assets will be protected, should the registered company encounter any financial difficulties.
Private Business Corporation
The Private Business Corporation (PBC) company structure is a less common but viable option for company registration in Zimbabwe. The primary benefit of a Private Business Corporation is the limited liability protection it provides to the owners (PBC members) – meaning their personal finances are protected in the event of the registered company encountering financial difficulties. It is commonly used by small to medium enterprises (SME’s) that traditionally operate as individuals (sole traders) or as partners such as law practices, accountancy firms or consultants.
