Register a company in Zambia — local or from abroad.
Spout registers and sets up Zambian businesses end to end: company incorporation with PACRA, your ZRA tax registration, and every statutory registration you need to trade and win work — handled by our team on the ground, so you never queue at a counter. Your written quote confirms the exact scope and fee.
Who this is for
Zambian entrepreneurs formalising a business, established companies that need their compliance brought up to date, and foreign investors setting up in Zambia from abroad — in construction, mining services, trading, consulting or technology. If you want one team to handle the paperwork while you get on with the business, this is it.
Everything we can register for you
Choose only what you need, or take the complete package. Each service has its own page:
- PACRA business registration — company incorporation or a business name.
- ZRA tax registration & Tax Clearance — your TPIN, tax types and clearance certificate.
- NAPSA registration — employer and employee social-security set-up.
- ZPPA supplier registration — so you can bid for government tenders.
- Workers’ Compensation (WCFCB) — statutory accident cover for your staff.
- NCC contractor registration — for construction and civil-works firms.
- EIZ registration — for engineering firms and professionals.
- Business bank account assistance — documents prepared, account opened.
Why take the Complete Compliance Package?
A new company usually needs several of these at once — PACRA, ZRA and NAPSA at the very least, and more if you plan to tender or build. The Complete Compliance Package bundles the full set at a single, lower figure than paying for each separately, with one point of contact and one timeline. The saving and the exact inclusions are set out in your written quote.
Can a foreigner register a company in Zambia?
Yes. Zambia allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and you do not need to be in the country to start. We act on your instructions, prepare and lodge everything with PACRA and ZRA, and send you the certificates. For international clients we quote and work in US dollars and handle the entire process remotely.
Common questions
How long does company registration take? A straightforward PACRA incorporation is usually a few working days; a full compliance set-up runs to a couple of weeks. We tell you the realistic timeline for your case up front.
