TARISA GROW
Good work deserves to be findable.
If you run a credible business in Zimbabwe, your problem is not competence. It is that a buyer sitting in Manchester or Melbourne has no way to tell you apart from the operator who took a deposit and disappeared. TARISA exists to make that difference visible.
What your money buys, and what it does not.
We are going to be blunt about this, because it is the whole basis of the business and you should know it before you read another line.
Paying TARISA buys you
- A fuller profile
- Case studies and a project gallery
- Performance analytics
- Enquiries routed to you
- Access to the network
Paying TARISA does not buy you
- A verification status or a badge
- A better organic position
- A favourable finding
- The removal of an unfavourable one
- Protection from a complaint
If we sold any of those, the platform would be worthless to buyers within a year, and your profile with it. The value of being on TARISA depends entirely on buyers believing we cannot be bought. So we cannot be.
Visibility that is actually qualified.
Buyers who are ready
TARISA attracts people at the decision point — often from abroad, often with the money already set aside. They are not browsing. They are choosing.
A profile that answers the real questions
Not a phone number and a category. Coverage, capacity, credentials, sampled projects, response time and the checks we have completed — so the buyer stops asking and starts talking about the job.
Evidence you can carry
Once we have confirmed your registration with the issuing body or verified your premises, that record is dated and durable. It follows your profile and it is visible to every buyer who lands on it.
Performance you can see
Profile views, enquiries received, response time, and how you compare to your category. If TARISA is not producing value, the numbers will say so and you should stop paying us.
Value first. Payment after.
During the pilot, listing is free or subsidised. We will not ask you to pay until we can show you what TARISA actually generated for your business. What you can do now is register your interest and lock a stated future price.

Featured placement — US$40/month
Clearly labelled as advertising. Excluded from organic ranking and from every verification decision. It buys attention. It does not buy standing.
Category sponsorship — from US$6,000/year
Underwrites the guides and content in a category. The sponsor is named. The sponsor does not see, influence or approve editorial, ranking or any verification outcome.
How we decide, and what to do if we get it wrong.
What we check. Identity of the owner and stated trading activity. Contact details and duplicates. Premises, where the category calls for it. Any credential you claim — confirmed with the body that issued it, not with you. A sample of references or past projects, where you offer them.
What we publish. Only the check we actually performed, with the date, and with a plain statement of what it does and does not mean. If we have verified your identity but not your premises, the profile says exactly that.
If we get it wrong. You can request a correction at any time and we will review it. If we decline, you can appeal, and the appeal is reviewed by someone who was not involved in the original decision. Corrections and appeals are free.
What we reserve. We can restrict, suspend or remove a provider — for a material complaint pattern, for evidence of fraud, for a credential that turns out not to exist, or for conduct that puts a client at risk. We will tell you why and you can appeal that too.
You are not excluded. You are described accurately.
Plenty of good work in Zimbabwe is done by businesses that are not formally registered, and pretending otherwise would make TARISA useless to half the market.
You can hold a profile. What we will not do is display a status that implies a registration you do not hold. If you are identity verified and premises verified but not registered with any trade body, your profile says identity verified and premises verified — and nothing more. That is honest, it is still valuable to a buyer, and it is a real route to building a record.
Register while the pilot is open.
We are recruiting provider cohorts in construction, boreholes, solar and selected property services, in Harare and the corridors around it. Registering now costs nothing, holds your place, and fixes your price for when we start charging.
Free during the pilot. We will only ask you to pay once we can show you what TARISA generated.
