Introduction to collecting debt in Tanzania
Do you have a hard time getting paid by your Tanzanian customers? Do not worry; we can help you collect the money they owe you.
The person who owes money is called the debtor. The person who the money is owed to is called the creditor. If the creditor collects the debt themselves, it's called first-party collection. If the creditor hires someone else to collect the debt, it's called third-party collections.
The debt collection process in Tanzania
The process of collecting debt in Tanzania usually happens in multiple steps. The image below explains the standard way to collect debt in Tanzania:
1 Upload your claim:
If you want someone to help you get your money back, you need to find a debt collection partner. You can give them your claim information, and they will help you get your money back. If you use Debitura, we will give you 3 quotes from local partners in the African country where your case is. This is free - you do not have to pay for it.
2 Amicable collection:
The collection process starts with sending reminders to the person who owes you money. The reminders go through email, SMS, letter, and other ways in the specific country. The goal is to get the person to pay or at least agree that they owe the debt, and then make a plan to pay it back. Debitura offers a no-cure-no-pay solution for amicable collection. This means that you only have to pay a small success fee if we recover your debt. Therefore, amicable collections with Debitura are 100% risk-free!
3 Evaluation:
If you still have not received payment from the debtor after trying to work it out nicely, it is time to look at what to do next. We will look at the size of your claim, the chances of getting paid, and other things to help you decide what the best next step is. There are three common next steps:
A Surveillance:
If you are owed less than 2,000-5,000 euros, it is often not worth it to take legal action. In this case, we recommend "debt surveillance." This means we will keep trying to contact the person who owes you money and try to reach an agreement.
B: Legal collections:
It is a good idea to start a legal action for bigger problems. The way to do it depends on what you are claiming and how big it is. Usually, it takes about one and a half years for it to be done.
C: Debt enforcement:
If the person you are owed money from has said that they owe you money or if there is a court order, you can go to the bailiff's court to get your money.
At Debitura, we can help you with all three steps in Tanzania.

The economic risk in Tanzania
Economic risk in Tanzania is high (5 out of 6). An economic risk of 5 out of 6 is pretty average in Africa.
GDP and economic growth are critical drivers for economic risk.
The GDP of Tanzania is 67,78 bn. USD (2021), growing by 4,28% per year.
In terms of the size of its economy, Tanzania ranks #74 out of 183 countries and has a medium-sized economy.
In terms of growth rate, it is ranked #95 out of 183 countries and is therefore considered an excellent growing economy.
GDP per capita is 1136 USD, ranking Tanzania number #152 out of 183 countries. The result of this is purchasing power of citizens in Tanzania is low compared to the rest of the world.
You can see a more detailed picture of GDP and economic growth in Tanzania in the table below:
Another critical driver for the economic risk score is the inflation rate and the interest rates. You can see a more detailed picture of monetary KPIs in Tanzania in the table below:
The business environment risk in Tanzania
Our analysis shows that the business environment risk in Tanzania is medium-high (4 out of 6), which is a relatively low risk score in Africa.
Economic freedom and rights determine the business environment risk in a country. The critical facts for Tanzania in the table below:
In the above table, you can see, the property rights index is 41 in Tanzania, which is considered quite low in Africa.
The business freedom index is based on 10 indicators, using data from the World Bank’s Doing Business study. The Index is 46 in Tanzania, a quite low score for a country in Africa.
Tanzania's overall economic freedom index is 61 out of 100 and is based on factors such as the rule of law, regulatory efficiency, and market openness.
The political risk in Tanzania
The political risk in Tanzania is medium, with a score of 3/6. This is a low political risk score in Africa.
The governance and political stability indicators are critical drivers for political risk. An overview of Tanzania can be seen in the graphs below:
The rule of law index analyses to which extent agents have confidence in and abide by the rules of society, in particular the quality of contract enforcement, property rights, the quality of the courts, and the police's ability to enforce court orders.
When trading with businesses in a country, the rule of law index is critical as it describes your ability to enforce commercial contracts.
In Tanzania, the rule of law index is at -0,52 points, with the score going from -2.5 (weak) to 2.5 (strong). Tanzania has, therefore, a very low rule of law index, which means it is often close to impossible to enforce your contracts. We, therefore, recommend avoiding credits and recommend charging upfront payment instead.
Other drivers for the medium political risks are the very weak control of corruption, the very weak political stability index, and the very large shadow economy that is 38,91% of Tanzania's GDP.
The commercial risk in Tanzania
In Tanzania, the commercial risk score is 2/4, which in our model is a low score. This low commercial risk score is pretty average compared to the average in Africa.
The commercial risk is influenced by a country's international trade relationships. You can see some of the key facts for Tanzania in the table below:
Tanzania has a negative trade balance of -2,72% of GDP. This means that Tanzania imports more goods and services than the country exports.
The annual growth of exports of goods and services has been growing 2,2% annually - now 14,33% of GDP. Import of goods and services represents 17,05% of the GDP in Tanzania.
The financing risk in Tanzania
We have calculated the financing risk to be 3/4, which equals a medium risk. A medium financing risk score is pretty average for countries in Africa.
The country's banking system, efficiency, and stability influence the financing risk. Additional facts and info can be found for Tanzania in the table below:
In Tanzania, the credit information sharing index is 8 on a scale from 0 (low) to 8 (high). The result of this is accessibility and quality of credit information available in Tanzania is high.
This makes it easy for you to understand the credit risk of your counterpart in Tanzania. You would be able to find a good local credit rating agency that can help you analyse the creditworthiness of your specific customers.
Your juridical rights as a creditor are 5 out of 12 and, therefore, weak.
