Greetings Zimbabwean entrepreneurs,

It doesn’t matter if you have a great product or service in your hands if you don’t put it in front of the right people..
 

 ACCESS TO MARKETS 

One of the very first things any entrepreneur should do is figure out what is needed in the market, who needs it and how to get it to them. Gaining access to markets requires a deep understanding of your target audience, their needs and the best channels to reach them. This means conducting market research, building relationships and utilising marketing strategies that resonate with potential customers. Read this week's ATLAS Venture Trove titled Access to markets

 CUSTOMS REGULATIONS IN ZIMBABWE 

As an entrepreneur in Zimbabwe, it is essential to have an understanding of customs regulation. Companies operating in Zimbabwe are required to register with the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) for customs purposes. This registration is mandatory for businesses engaged in importing, exporting, or dealing with goods subject to customs control. Read this week's ATLAS Resource on Customs Regulations in Zimbabwe, details are on our website here.
