Before I walk you through the process of BRELA registration and show you how to create your BRELA account, let me first share a story about my friend John.
Last year, I met up with my friend John in Dar es Salaam. John is a highly successful businessman in the city, yet he had been missing out on lucrative government contracts, despite being fully capable of delivering top-notch services.
During our conversation, I discovered the reason: John wasn’t aware that to be eligible for government tenders, his business needed to be registered with the Business Registration and Licensing Agency (BRELA). Realizing this, I took the time to guide him on how to create a BRELA account so he could register his business name.
It didn’t take long before John secured his first government contract, and today he’s working with major companies both in Tanzania and internationally.
Just like John, you too can unlock new opportunities by registering with BRELA. It’s not difficult, and all it takes is a bit of guidance to get started. Here’s how to create your BRELA account.
Business Registration and Licensing Agency (BRELA) is an excutive agency responsible for business administration and regulation of the laws; namely Companies Registration, Business Names Registration, Trade and Service Marks
