3. Submit the required documents
Organize the Memorandum and Articles of Association, fill out form 14A, and provide details regarding office location, company directors, and the secretary. Then submit the forms (form 14A) and other necessary documents to BRELA. Processing of the above documents and forms takes approximately two days, and then the agency issues a certificate of incorporation.
4. Obtain notarization of compliance
The incorporator has to visit a notary for notarization of the declaration of compliance to get a notarized declaration of compliance.
5. Apply for a certificate of incorporation
Applying for a certificate of incorporation is done at the Tanzania investment centre. The secretary or the incorporator must submit the following documents to the registrar of companies.

6. Draft Memorandum and Articles of Association
Prepare the memorandum and articles of association. The memorandum of association is a detailed statement of objects of the company, while the articles of association are clear statements of management structure and processes.

8. Getting a business license
Once you have a business license, you are free to begin your business in Tanzania. The kind of business license you acquire depends on the nature of your business and the nature of activities your business is involved in.

KUACHISHA KAZI: AINA NA TARATIBU ZAKE ZA KISHERIA.

UTANGULIZI
Kuachisha kazi kwa ujumla maana yake ni kumalizika/kuvunjika kwa mkataba wa ajira kati ya muajiri na muajiriwa. Kwa maneno mengine, ni kumalizika kwa mahusiano ya kiajira kati ya muajiri na muajiriwa. Kusitishwa kwa mahusiano hayo kunaweza kuanzishwa na upande wowote wa mkataba huo (muajiri au muajiriwa).
Katika Kanuni za Ajira na Mahusiano Kazini (Kanuni za Utendaji Bora) za mwaka 2007, imeelezwa kuwa kuachishwa kazi kazi itakuwa ni apamoja na:-
a) Kuachisha kazi chini ya Sheria ya Kimila ya Uingereza (Common Law).
b) Muajiri kusababisha ugumu kwa muajiriwa kuendelea na ajira.
c) Kushindwa kuongeza mkataba wa muda maalum kwa masharti yaleyale au yanayofanana k**a kulikuwa na matumaini ya kuongeza mkataba.
d) Kushindwa kumruhusu mfanyakazi kurejea kazini baada ya likizo ya uzazi au ulezi.
e) Kushindwa kumuajiri tena mfanyakazi pale ambapo muajiri amewaachisha kazi wafanyakazi kadhaa kwa sababu k**a hiyo au zinazofanana na ametoa nafasi z ajira kwa baadhi ya wafanyakazi walioachishwa kazi tu.

KUACHISHA KAZI KIHALALI
Katika Sheria ya Kimila ya Uingereza (Common Law), kuachisha kazi kihalali kumeelezwa kuwa ni pamoja na :-
i. Kuachisha kazi kwa makubaliano – hapa ni pale ambapo muajiri na muajiriwa wanakuwa wamekubaliana kusitisha mahusiano yao ya kiajira. Kwa mfano; k**a mkataba wa ajira ni wa mwaka mmoja na muda huo umekwisha, hapo mkataba huo utakuwa umefikia ukomo.
ii. Ajira kukoma yenyewe – hapa ni pale ambapo mkataba wa ajira unakuwa umesitishwa katika mazingira k**a kifo au kumalizika kwa shughuli ya muajiri.
iii. Kuachishwa kazi kunakofanywa na muajiri – muajiri pia anaweza kusitisha mkataba wa ajira lakini itampasa kwanza kuzingatia na kufuata taratibu za kisheria.
 Katika Sheria ya Ajira na Mahusiano Kazini na. 6 ya mwaka 2004 kumetajwa vigezo vine ambavyo vinahalalisha uachishaji kazi unaofanywa na muajiri. Vigezo hivyo ni pamoja na:-
a) Mwenendo mbaya (misconduct)
b) Kutokuwa na uwezo (incapac

e) Kushindwa kumuajiri tena mfanyakazi pale ambapo muajiri amewaachisha kazi wafanyakazi kadhaa kwa sababu k**a hiyo au zinazofanana na ametoa nafasi z ajira kwa baadhi ya wafanyakazi walioachishwa kazi tu.

KUACHISHA KAZI KIHALALI
Katika Sheria ya Kimila ya Uingereza (Common Law), kuachisha kazi kihalali kumeelezwa kuwa ni pamoja na :-
i. Kuachisha kazi kwa makubaliano – hapa ni pale ambapo muajiri na muajiriwa wanakuwa wamekubaliana kusitisha mahusiano yao ya kiajira. Kwa mfano; k**a mkataba wa ajira ni wa mwaka mmoja na muda huo umekwisha, hapo mkataba huo utakuwa umefikia ukomo.
ii. Ajira kukoma yenyewe – hapa ni pale ambapo mkataba wa ajira unakuwa umesitishwa katika mazingira k**a kifo au kumalizika kwa shughuli ya muajiri.
iii. Kuachishwa kazi kunakofanywa na muajiri – muajiri pia anaweza kusitisha mkataba wa ajira lakini itampasa kwanza kuzingatia na kufuata taratibu za kisheria.
 Katika Sheria ya Ajira na Mahusiano Kazini na. 6 ya mwaka 2004 kumetajwa vigezo vine ambavyo vinahalalisha uachishaji kazi unaofanywa na muajiri. Vigezo hivyo ni pamoja na:-
a) Mwenendo mbaya (misconduct)
b) Kutokuwa na uwezo (incapacity)
c) Kutohitajika (incompatibility)
d) Mahitaji ya kiuendeshaji (operational requirement)

iv. Ukatishwaji wa ajira unaofanywa na muajiriwa – hapa ni pale ambapo mfanyakazi analazimika kuacha kazi baada ya muajiri kuvunja mkataba wa ajira baina yake na muajiriwa.
 Katika Kanuni za Ajira na Mahusiano Kazini (Kanuni za Utendaji Bora) za mwaka 2007, Kanuni ya 7 (1) inasema kuwa, “… pale ambapo muajiri anafanya ajira kushindwa kuvumilika, ambapo inaweza kusababisha muajiriwa ajiuzulu, kujiuzulu huko kutakuwa sawa na kuacha kazi kwa kulazimika.”

Sheria ya Ajira na Mahusiano Kazini na Kanuni zake, pia imeeleza kuwa ili kuachisha kazi kuwe ni halali basi ni lazima kuwe na sababu halali na ya haki (valid and fair reason) na utaratibu wa haki (fair procedure) uwe umefuatwa. Muajiri anapaswa kuwa na sababu halali na awe amefuata utaratibu wa haki katika kumuachisha kazi muajiriwa.
Taratibu za kuachisha kazi zinatofautiana kulingana na sababu inayopelekea kuachisha kazi, lakini taratibu zote hizo ni lazima zimpe muajiriwa nafasi ya kusikilizwa kabla ya uamuzi wa kumuachisha kazi. Bila kujali uzito wa kosa lililofanywa na muajiriwa, bila kujali kuwa muajiri wake ana ushahidi wa kutosha, ni lazima kisheria kufuata taratibu za kumuachisha kazi k**a zilivyoelezwa katika Sheria ya Ajira na Mahusiano Kazini na. 6 ya mwaka 2004 na Kanuni zake za mwaka 2007.
Kushindwa kufuata taratibu hizo kutamaanisha muajiriwa ameachishwa kazi bila kupewa nafasi ya kujitetea (summary dismissal). Kutokumpa muajiriwa nafasi ya kujitetea au kujieleza ni kumnyima haki yake ya kisheria. Kwa mujibu wa Sheria za kazi, kuachisha kazi kwa namna hii ni sawa na kuachisha kazi kusivyo halali (unfair termination).
Endapo itathibitika kuwa kuachisha kazi kulikofanywa na muajiri si halali inaweza kuamuriwa kuwa muajiri atekeleze moja ya mambo yafuatayo kwa mfanyakazi/muajiriwa husika.
1. Kumrudisha muajiriwa kazini (reinstatement) – hapa muajiriwa atarudishwa kazini na itahesabika alikuwepo kazini kutokea siku alipoachishwa kazi na atastahili kulipwa stahiki zake alizostahili kulipwa kwa kipindi chote tangu kuachishwa kwake. Pale ambapo amri ya kumrudisha muajiriwa kazini imetolewa na muajiri ameshindwa kutekeleza amri hiyo, atapaswa kumlipa mfanyakazi huyo fidia ya mishahara ya miezi isiyopungua kumi na mbili (12) na stahiki nyingine alizostahili kulipwa tangu kuachishwa kwake.

2. Kumuajiri upya mfanyakazi kwa masharti mapya yatakayoamuliwa na Tume ya Usuluhishi na Uamuzi au Mahak**a Kuu Kitengo cha Kazi (Labour Court). Endapo muajiri atashindwa kutekeleza amri hii, atalazimika kulipa fidia ya mishahara ya miezi isiyopungua kumi na mbili pamoja na stahiki nyingine ambazo muajiriwa alistahili kulipwa tangu siku aliyoachishwa kazi isivyo halali.

3. Kumlipa mfanyakazi fidia ya mshahara wa miezi isiyopungua kumi na mbili. Pamoja na fidia hiyo, pia atalazimika kumlipa stahiki zake nyingine anazostahili kulipwa kwa mujibu wa Sheria yoyote ile au makubaliano yoyote yaliyokuwepo kati ya muajiri na muajiriwa.
