The three BDG BC partners at ease in their comfortable office at "Private Sector House" adjacent to the Dar es Salaam Business Centre (DBC)
History of Business
The three partners of BDG Consult, all possessing vast divergent experiences and backgrounds, decided to bundle their forces and establish the law company BDG Consult, which was duly registered in August 2009.
Mr. Jambo was trained at Dar es Salaam University Law School and worked with ZAIN as Legal and Regulatory Manager. His experience is in Business and Corporate Law in Tanzania. Mr. Mambo was trained at Makerere University Law School of Uganda. Additionally he obtained an LLM from Groningen University in the Netherlands in 2004. He is presently enrolled as advocate of all courts of Judicature in both Uganda and Tanzania. He was legal advisor to the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning since January 2001 before he joined BDG Consult.
Special features of BDG Consult
The main focus of BDG Consult is on corporate and business facilitation through provision of legal services. The company belongs to the first one of the BDG participants who actively participates in Business Club program of the BDG by providing short term courses to BDG clients in the field of enterprise related legal matters. It is expected that these training activities will yield consultancy assignments. BDG Consult participates in the Pro-Bono Scheme of the Tanzanian Bar Association (legal services are provided free of charge for those who cannot afford the full fee).
A special feature is enclosed in the adage of the three young business partners. They strongly believe in their endeavors to create employment rather than to look for it.
BDG inputs
The background and motivation of these participants was such that already by the first contact with the BDG their Business Plan was in an advanced stage. However, they realized that they were not in the position to complete their plan on their own and decided to join the BDG BPC program.
First contact with the BDG was made in January 2009. Eight months of participating with the BPC program were sufficient to present a bankable Business Plan to the NMB at the moment of graduation, resulting in obtaining a loan of 50 M. Tshs. in September 2009 for a period of 2 years.
