Zimbabwe company compliance

Change Company Directors in Zimbabwe

Appointments, resignations and changes to director particulars must be notified to the Companies Registry. Do it online through Partzile.

What director changes involves

A director change filing notifies the Registry that a director has been appointed or has ceased to hold office, or that a serving director's particulars have changed.

You complete the tailored online form, attach the supporting resolution and identity documents, and your compliance officer lodges the notice.
