Understanding the Express Registration Process

Following name approval, our team prepares and files all necessary incorporation documents with the Registrar of Companies with utmost urgency.

Essential Documents and Compliance for Foreign Nationals

Foreign nationals undergoing express business registration in Kenya must provide specific documentation to the Registrar of Companies. This usually includes notarized copies of passports, proof of residential address in their home country and Kenya (if applicable), and details of at least one director who is a Kenyan resident or has a valid work permit. For entities forming a company, a Board Resolution from the parent company is often required. Our firm ensures all documentation is correctly prepared, translated if necessary, and meets the stringent requirements of the Companies Act, 2015, and any accompanying regulations to guarantee an unhindered registration.
