Hello Diksha,

I know this question is a bit old and probably you got an answer from outside expat.com. If you have not found anything yet then here is something for you.

1. Tanzania is open to foreign investments. You can set up any business be it retail, trading, manufacturing, service, etc. If your investment is small you can use a local Tanzanian to partner into business. Tanzanians are very humble, faithful but choose properly to skip the lazy ones. If you want to go into a substantial investment then you can enjoy dozens of incentives by going through Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC).

2. Tanzania imports electronics, petroleum, textile products, automobiles, etc. The imports are huge. Fashion and electronics are booming. You can invest in this through joint venture, direct imports, forming a local company, etc. I may lend a hand if needed in formalizing the business.

3. Find a consultant who is willing to connect you with people in similar business. Most of the top employees of existing businesses will be happy to assist you in researching the market and formalities.

4. You can start investment in Tanzania with as small as USD15k. This can be in retail, trading, or a small restaurant. The higher the capital the better. Around USD300k for tourism agency or operator. USD25k for letting temporary tour tents.

5. Never go into business without researching. Don't trust everyone. Respect everyone. Avoid partnering with people that can not be traced online and offline.

I know this is not enough to help someone jump into a business in Tanzania but at least it gives a starting point.

I'm aware that this post surfaced approximately 4 years ago, but being fairly new to the site; I find it chock full of information and well intentioned. We must support each other,  as much as possible within the diaspora.  Thanks for great information and proven step procedures for starting and operating a business in Tanzania.

Respectfully,

Keith
