Have you ever thought about registering a company in Africa? Iran and Africa Business Club intends to provide you with a simple process of “how to register a company” in Botswana. Botswana or Batswana with the official name of the Republic of Botswana in the Tswana language is a landlocked country located in the south of the African continent. Which shares borders with Namibia from the north, northwest and west, Zimbabwe from the northeast and east, and South Africa from the east, southeast, south and southwest. Its capital is Gaborone and it has held free and fair elections since its independence on September 30, 1966. The population of Botswana is two million people and 71.6% of the people of this country are Christians. Its official language is English and Tswana language is also very popular in this country.
Botswana is a non-mountainous, low and flat country, and 70% of it is located in the Kalahari Desert, and it has one of the lowest densities in terms of population among countries in the world. At the time of its independence from Britain, the Republic of Botswana was considered one of the poorest countries in Africa, but before the 2008 global economic crisis, it had one of the fastest economic growths in the world. The economy of this country relies more on the diamond industry. The currency of Botswana is called pula with the component unit “tebe”. This country is a member of the African Union. And it is also known for its mining activities, the main source of income for most households in this country is mining activities. To move beyond the mono-product mining economy, the government is supporting small businesses and start-ups with its own initiatives to reduce unemployment, which currently stands at 17%. We come across a lot of people who think that registering a company is a long, complicated and expensive process. This is partly due to the lack of access to information, insufficient research and some ignorance about the countries. Accordingly, to know where to start, we are by your side at the Iran and Africa Business Club.
Registering a company or brand name is important because it gives exclusive rights to use the name and is recognized as a legal entity. Companies and registered trade names are an important aspect of the economy because it is a precursor to trade and business. To give your business an identity, you need to register a company or trade name with CIPA. A brand name is a business style, name, title, or description under which a business is conducted. Whereas a corporation is a legal entity that arises when one or more persons form a corporate body that acquires a personality separate from its members with legal powers to sue, or be sued, own property and enter into contracts. A company can register different trade names under it, which means that a company can own a trade name.

The growth of private sector employment during the first 30 years of the country’s independence was about 10 percent per year on average. After a period of stagnation at the start of the 21st century, Botswana’s economy has recorded high levels of growth, with GDP growth exceeding the 6-7% targets. Botswana has been praised by the African Development Bank for maintaining one of the world’s longest economic booms. Economic growth since the late 1960s has matched some of Asia’s largest economies. The government has consistently maintained a budget surplus and has large foreign exchange reserves. Compared to some of its neighbors, Botswana’s impressive economic record has been built on diamond mining, prudent fiscal policies and cautious foreign policy. Botswana’s economy is mostly dependent on diamond mining. Diamond mining accounts for 50% of the government’s revenue, mainly through a 50:50 joint venture with De Beers in the Debswana Diamond Company. Transparency International has considered this country as the least corrupt country in Africa in the corruption perception list.
