1. Step-by-Step Guide: Company Re-Registration & CR6/CR14 in Zimbabwe

Overview

Under the **Companies and Other Business Entities (COBE) Act [Chapter 24:31] , all companies registered under the old system are required to re-register on the Companies and Intellectual Property Office of Zimbabwe (CIPO)** digital portal. This process links your business to a new digital **CAB#** (Company Accreditation/Registration Number) and updates your formal records (formerly known as CR14 and CR6).
