Navigating The Companies Act, 2015 For Virtual Offices

In Kenya, establishing a business entity, including one utilizing a virtual office address, is primarily governed by the Companies Act, 2015. This legislation mandates that every company must have a registered office within Kenya. For businesses opting for a virtual office, this means securing a legitimate physical address that can receive official correspondence from authorities like the Registrar of Companies, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), and other regulatory bodies. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates ensures your chosen virtual address meets these legal prerequisites, preventing potential compliance issues. We meticulously guide you through understanding the implications of this Act, the requirements for disclosing your registered office, and the importance of maintaining an updated record with the Registrar of Companies, all while leveraging our deep expertise in Kenyan corporate law and the Nairobi business environment.
