WHO IS THIS FOR?
You already know Zimbabwe has potential. But You just don't know who to trust.
You have roots in Zimbabwe — or a strong business reason to be there — but every time you've looked into investing, you've hit a wall of conflicting advice, outdated information, and people trying to sell you something.
You've heard stories of people who got burned. You don't want to be one of them.
You want to move, but you need a clear picture of the landscape first — the funding options that actually exist, the structures that actually work, the rules that actually matter right now.
That's exactly what this report gives you.
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER
Intelligence that changes how you see the opportunity
Here is a fraction of what this report reveals — findings that most people trying to enter the Zimbabwean market will never know.
KEY FINDING
Significant liquidity exists in Zimbabwe — but it is highly conditional and primarily accessible through formal structures. Most diaspora investors approach it wrong.
COMMON MISTAKE
Informal business structures are the single most common reason diaspora investors are locked out of the best funding options. Formalisation is non-negotiable.
CURRENCY REALITY
Currency risk in Zimbabwe is manageable — but only if you know which funding streams offer USD-denominated protections and which expose you to ZWG volatility.
HIDDEN ROUTE
Supply chain financing is one of the most underused funding mechanisms available to diaspora entrepreneurs. Most people don't know it exists at this scale.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Six chapters. Every decision you need to make, covered.
01
The Funding Landscape — What Actually Exists
A clear breakdown of every major funding stream available in Zimbabwe today: Commercial Banks, Government DFIs, Microfinance institutions and SACCOs, and Private Equity. When to use each, and what each one requires from you.
02
The Strategic Funding Ladder
Which capital is accessible at each stage of your business — from Seed and Proof of Concept through Early Growth, Scaling and Contracts, all the way to Expansion and Infrastructure. Don't approach the wrong funder at the wrong stage.
03
How to Register Your Business — Step by Step
Which capital is accessible at each stage of your business — from Seed and Proof of Concept through Early Growth, Scaling and Contracts, all the way to Expansion and Infrastructure. Don't approach the wrong funder at the wrong stage.
04
Tax, ZIMRA, and Staying Compliant
Income Tax at 25%, VAT at 15%, PAYE obligations, and the 30% withholding tax trap that catches uninformed investors. How to get your tax clearance certificate and why it matters more than you think.
05
Licences, Permits, and Sector-Specific Rules
The licences and permits required to operate legally depending on your sector — from health and environmental permits to tourism and trading licences. What you need, who issues it, and how to get it without delays.
06
Government Support, ZIDA, and Strategic Contacts
The investor protections available under the ZIDA Act 2020, the One-Stop Information Services Centre, and the support programmes available specifically for diaspora entrepreneurs including women-led ventures.
INCLUDED FREE
The Zimbabwe Business Setup Checklist
A single-page reference tool that maps every step of the setup process — registration, tax compliance, licencing, and funder approach — into a clear sequence you can follow and tick off. Designed so you can hand it to an adviser or lawyer in Zimbabwe and they will know exactly what stage you're at.
This checklist alone would cost you an hour of a Zimbabwean lawyer's time to produce. It's included at no extra charge with every copy of the report.

One missed ZIMRA registration leads to a 30% withholding penalty on every payment you receive. This report costs £37.

What we cannot refund is a change of mind, a decision not to proceed with Zimbabwe, or information you could have found freely elsewhere. This guarantee exists for people who take action. If that's you, you have nothing to lose.
