Pacra: Fill & Download for Free

Investing in Zambia is very easy. If you are a Zambian, you simply need to sign up with PACRA (The companies Registrar) and ZRA for taxes so you can get a Tax payer’s Identity. Depending on the kind of business you want to invest in, PACRA will guide you as to what investment threshold is suitable for you.If you are non-Zambian, it is equally easy. One option is to find a Zambian to partner with so they help you with the paper work and everything else to settle. Otherwise you need to go to Zambia Development Agency and they will walk you through the investment process.I’m running a series about doing business in Zambia on my site: https://zambiansense.com.

Though the question sounds unclear I will answer it in what I think is the best way. Basically Pharmacy businesses in Lusaka and the rest of Zambia are regulated under the Medicines and Allied Substances Act, 2013 and the body responsible with the regulation of these businesses is the Zambia Medicines Regulatory Authority (ZAMRA). Below are the steps someone has to follow before setting up a Retail pharmacy:Setting up a Pharmacy starts with finding the premises where the business should be set up (availability of running water and sanitary facilities are paramount , size of building should be considered ) and registration with the Patents and Company Registration Agency (PACRA).After finding a suitable building, the would be business owner has to put shelves, the dispensary and air conditioning in it. Getting local government (council) certifications (Fire certificate, Business Levy, Health permit) as well has to be done.Contracting a Fully registered Pharmacist who has to be a fultime employee and getting prerequisite reference materials/books (Martindale the Complete drug reference, British National Formulary (BNF), Zambia National Formulary (ZNF) , Standard Treatment guidelines etc) for the pharmacy.ZAMRA is contacted to do the inspection and upon ZAMRA doing the inspection, if everything is found to be in place, ZAMRA issues a Certificate of Registration and then a business can start operating
