Common Questions
FAQ for Diaspora Investors
Do I need to be in Zimbabwe to start a business?
No. BESA provides full remote facilitation. We handle company registration, bank accounts, legal setup, and operational launch entirely on your behalf. Many of our diaspora clients have launched businesses without visiting Zimbabwe at all.
Is my investment legally protected?
Yes. Zimbabwe's Investment and Business Act (ZIDA) provides statutory protections for investors. BESA ensures all your business structures are properly registered, contracts are legally binding, and your ownership is fully protected under Zimbabwean law.
How do I repatriate my profits?
Zimbabwe allows profit repatriation for registered foreign investors through the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) framework. BESA advises on the most efficient repatriation channels, including Foreign Currency Accounts (FCAs) and authorized dealer banks.
Can I own 100% of my Zimbabwe business?
Yes. ZIDA allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors. Some sectors have indigenization requirements, but BESA's legal team will advise on the optimal ownership structure for your specific investment.
What currencies can I invest in?
Zimbabwe operates a multi-currency environment accepting USD, ZiG (Zimbabwe Gold), Rand, and other currencies. USD is the dominant business currency. BESA helps structure your investment to minimize currency risk.
How long does it take to set up a business?
Company registration typically takes 5–10 business days. Full operational setup (banking, staffing, premises) takes 4–8 weeks depending on the sector. BESA provides a detailed timeline for your specific investment from day one.
