Local business support
A reliable local contact while you run things from abroad
If you own or manage a Zambian business from another country, the small tasks can be the hardest part. We can follow up on paperwork, meet suppliers, collect documents and keep an eye on the things that need a person on the ground.
Tell us what is not getting done. We will suggest a practical scope and confirm what it costs.
- Document collection and follow-up
- Supplier sourcing and meetings
- Ongoing monthly administrative support
What we help with
Practical support on the ground
Choose a single task, a short project or an ongoing monthly arrangement. We confirm the scope before we start.
-
Local coordination and communication
We speak to service providers, offices and suppliers on your behalf, then give you a clear summary of what was said and what happens next.
-
Document collection and submission
Collecting letters, certificates, receipts or forms, checking that they are complete and coordinating submission or delivery.
-
Application follow-ups
Visiting or calling an office to check progress, asking what is outstanding and making sure your file has not stalled.
-
Supplier sourcing and introductions
Finding local suppliers, comparing options and arranging an introduction or a first meeting. If a supplier pays us a commission, we tell you.
-
Office and commercial property searches
Shortlisting offices, shops or commercial space based on your budget and area, and arranging viewings.
-
Meetings and site visits
Scheduling appointments, arranging transport and making sure you or your visiting colleague reach the right place on time.
-
Errands and inspections
Practical local errands, property checks, deliveries and visits that need a trusted person on the ground.
-
Monthly administrative support
A set number of hours each month for follow-ups, coordination and admin, with a simple record of what was done.
Clear limits
What local support is and is not
We are a coordination and assistance service. We are not your lawyer, accountant, director or legal representative, and we do not make decisions for your company.
We do not describe ordinary coordination as formal legal representation. We also do not advertise a registered office, nominee director or formal resident representative service. If your situation genuinely requires one of those arrangements, we will say so and, where possible, refer you to an appropriately qualified provider.
For regulated work, we coordinate and refer. The qualified professional does the regulated work.
You keep control of your business. We handle the local legwork and tell you what we found.
Who it is for
Useful if you are not in Zambia full time
- Foreign owners who need someone to check on a company, property or supplier
- Investors preparing to enter the market who need local information before committing
- Companies whose staff visit occasionally and need arrangements between visits
- Small teams without a permanent office in Lusaka
- People relocating who need practical help before they arrive
The process
How an arrangement works
Tell us what is pending
List the tasks, deadlines and people involved. A rough list is enough to start.
We propose a scope
We say what we can do, what we cannot do, how long it is likely to take and what it costs.
You approve in writing
We agree the tasks, the reporting and the limits before any work starts.
We do the local work
We visit, call, collect, deliver and follow up, keeping a simple record.
You get a clear update
A short written update after each task or at an agreed interval, with any decisions you need to make.
Costs
How we charge for local support
One-off tasks are quoted per task. Ongoing support can be arranged as a monthly block of hours. Travel, official fees and third-party costs are shown separately.
We do not ask for a blank cheque. You approve the scope and the budget before we start, and we tell you if something is likely to cost more than expected.
Questions
Local support questions
Can you represent my company at a meeting?
We can attend a meeting to listen, take notes and report back, or accompany you as local support. We do not act as your legal representative or make binding decisions for your company unless we have agreed a specific, lawful mandate in writing.
Can you be my registered office or nominee director?
No. We do not advertise or provide registered office, nominee director or formal resident representative services. Those arrangements carry legal responsibilities and need proper verification. If you need one, we will tell you and, where possible, refer you to a qualified provider.
Can you find suppliers for my business?
Yes. We can help identify suppliers, make initial contact, compare basic information and arrange meetings. You make the commercial decision. We do not accept hidden commissions from suppliers.
How do you report on work done?
We agree the reporting at the start. For a single task, that is usually a short written summary with photos or documents where useful. For ongoing support, it can be a weekly or monthly update.
Do you work outside Lusaka?
Our base is Lusaka. We can arrange support in other parts of Zambia through local providers we work with, but travel and availability need to be confirmed first.

WhatsApp is usually the fastest way to reach us. Email works too, and it is better if you want to send documents or a detailed schedule.

Helpful things to include
- What you want to do, in your own words
- Whether you are already in Zambia or still overseas
- Your type of business or the service you need
- Any deadline you are working towards
You do not need to have it all worked out. A rough outline is enough to start, and we will ask about anything we still need.
