Incorporation through the Business Registrations and Licensing Agency (BRELA) typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. However, a fully operational setup, which includes obtaining your Tax Identification Number (TIN) and the necessary Business Licenses generally averages 3 to 4 weeks. We minimize these durations by managing multi-agency filings in parallel to ensure your investment is ready to trade as quickly as possible.

Yes, in most economic sectors, foreign investors are permitted to maintain 100% ownership of a Limited Liability Company (LLC). While specific regulated industries, such as telecommunications, mining, and shipping, carry Local Content requirements that mandate a minimum percentage of Tanzanian shareholding, the vast majority of commercial and service-based sectors allow for full foreign control. Our consultancy specializes in structuring your entity to ensure maximum control while staying fully compliant with the Tanzania Investment Act.

Foreign nationals typically require two types of authorization to legally operate in Tanzania, which are the Class A permit for self-employed investors and the Class B permit for expatriate specialists and employees. A key advantage for businesses registered with the Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) is the granting of an initial automatic immigration quota of up to five persons during the start-up period, which significantly simplifies the process for bringing in key personnel. City Squares manages the entire application through the Labor and Immigration departments to ensure your team is on the ground legally and quickly.

Under the Tanzanian Land Act, all land is publicly owned and foreigners cannot own it outright. Instead, land is granted strictly for approved investment purposes through the Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) via a legal mechanism called a Derivative Right. This right serves as a secure, long-term sub-lease for terms of up to 98 years, providing a stable legal foundation that is recognized by financial institutions for project financing. City Squares specializes in identifying suitable investment land and navigating the TIC facilitation process to ensure your project is legally protected from the start.
