Hi Everyone,
I am planning to start a business importing construction equipment, dump trucks, excavators etc... in East Africa, seriously considering Tanzania. I am having a problem opening the website for Tanzania Investment Authority, I am sure there is a wealth of information there. Do you know if there is a minimum capital requirement? does the money have to be deposited in a Tanzanian bank or a statement from a US bank will suffice? How easy is it to open a foreign currency account?
in the meantime, is it difficult to find a job in Construction / Civil Engineering while I set up a business?
Thank You very much

Hi Filmon,
That's a good bet as construction industry is a booming sector across E.A, notably in Tanzania.You be importing and also do equipment hire business, You can open these websites to get a treasure trove of information - tic.co.tz (for Tanzania investment center-very helpful regarding capital ).Well, it relatively easy to open currency account with Citi bank, Expor import bank(Exim bank),Stanbic bank etc.You also need some patience when it comes to dealing with government entities.
