Demystifying Business Registration Cost Components

When considering business registration fees in Kenya, it's crucial to distinguish between statutory government fees and professional legal fees. Statutory fees are those directly paid to government agencies like the Business Registration Service (BRS) for name search, registration, and stamp duty, which are non-negotiable and apply uniformly across all registrations. These typically range from KES 10,000 to KES 15,000 for a private limited company. Professional legal fees, charged by firms like Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates, cover the expertise, time, and resources dedicated to preparing and filing documents, providing legal advice, and ensuring compliance. Our comprehensive packages are designed to cover everything from drafting constitutional documents (Memorandum & Articles of Association or simplified constitution) to processing the Certificate of Incorporation and assisting with post-incorporation formalities like KRA PIN registration, NHIF, and NSSF. We prioritize full compliance with the Companies Act, 2015, ensuring your business is established on a robust legal footing from day one.
