Understanding the Accelerated Company Registration Process

The Registrar of Companies in Kenya, under the purview of the Attorney General's office, oversees business registrations. While standard procedures exist, a 'fast track' approach focuses on meticulous preparation and proactive engagement to expedite the process for SMEs. This often involves ensuring all documentation, such as the Memorandum and Articles of Association (MAA), director identification details, and registered office particulars, are flawless from the outset. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates leverages extensive experience with the e-Citizen portal and direct liaison with the Registrar's office to pre-empt potential delays. We ensure compliance with the Companies Act, 2015, which governs all company formations in Kenya. Our expertise in corporate law allows us to anticipate requirements and submit applications with the highest degree of accuracy.
