UNDERSTANDING WOFE
CAN I OWN A COMPANY IN TANZANIA?
Yes, you can have a company in Tanzania as a foreigner “wholly owned foreign enterprise.” It means that a foreign investor which could be a company or an individual owns 90 percent stock equity, and having a local person to have less than 10 percent. Therefore, it is the investor that takes care of the affairs of the company and ensures that the company makes the profit. As a result of some of its benefits such as direct management, efficient operation, independence, as well as the reasonably required investment capital, WOFE has become a top priority for many foreign investors.
