The Government of Zimbabwe has issued business owners with an ultimatum for the re-registration of companies registered under the old system. The move has been necessitated by the government’s migration from the old paper-based model to a more efficient and secure tamper-proof electronic system.
Statutory Deadline Announced
Under Statutory Instrument 108 of 2025, the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, acting in terms of section 303 of the Companies and Other Business Entities Act, has set 20 April 2026 as the deadline for the re-registration of companies registered under the old Act.
In terms of the issued Regulations, failure to re-register by the specified deadline shall result in the automatic de-registration of the company or Private Business Corporation (PBC), and such an entity shall be removed from the official register of Companies.
Members of the public have been placed on notice to comply with this requirement or risk having their companies de-registered.
