Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates & Mediators is dedicated to providing swift, expert legal services that streamline the registration process, allowing you to launch your business with confidence.

Understanding the Business Registration Landscape in Kenya

Registering a business in Kenya involves several key steps, governed primarily by the Companies Act, 2015. This legislation outlines the requirements for different business structures, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies (both private and public), and external companies. The Registrar of Companies, operating under the Business Registration Service (BRS), is the official body responsible for these registrations. Our firm's aggressive approach ensures that all documentation, such as the Memorandum and Articles of Association (MEMART), director and shareholder details, and registered office address, are meticulously prepared and filed accurately. We also advise on name reservation and compliance with any sector-specific licensing requirements.

The Swift Path to Business Registration: Our Process

At Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates, our business registration process is designed for speed and accuracy. It typically begins with a consultation to determine the most suitable business structure for your needs, considering factors like liability, taxation, and operational scale. We then assist with name availability searches and reservation. Following this, we prepare all necessary incorporation documents, including statutory forms and the company's MEMART, ensuring they align with the Companies Act, 2015. Once these are finalized and signed, we submit the application to the Registrar of Companies. We proactively follow up on the application status, addressing any queries from the BRS promptly. Our goal is to secure your Certificate of Incorporation and other essential documents, such as the KRA PIN for the company, in the shortest possible timeframe across Kenya.
