A legacy built on integrity, expertise, and a commitment to helping businesses achieve lasting governance excellence.

Mentis Advisory Team

"At Mentis, we believe that strong governance is the foundation upon which every successful business is built."

— Managing Director, Mentis Advisory

Decades of Governance Excellence in Zambia

Mentis Advisory Limited was founded with a singular purpose: to provide Zambian businesses with the highest standard of corporate secretarial and governance services available. We recognized early that good governance is not a formality — it is the backbone of every sustainable organization.

Over the years, we have grown from a boutique advisory practice into one of Zambia's most trusted corporate governance firms, serving clients across industries including financial services, mining, agriculture, real estate, and the public sector.

Our team of chartered secretaries, governance specialists, and legal advisors brings a breadth of knowledge and hands-on experience to every engagement. We do not offer one-size-fits-all solutions — we take the time to understand your business, your board dynamics, and your growth objectives before crafting tailored recommendations.
