What Do Our Legal Advisory Fees Cover?

When you engage us for company registration, our professional fee is not just for filling out forms. It encompasses a suite of expert services designed to protect your interests. The fee covers an initial consultation to determine the optimal business structure, conducting a thorough name search to avoid trademark conflicts, and the expert drafting of your Memorandum and Articles of Association. These documents are the constitution of your company and require careful legal drafting to support your future goals, such as raising capital. Furthermore, our fees cover the management of the entire filing process with the Business Registration Service (BRS) and providing crucial advice on post-incorporation obligations, including KRA, NSSF, and NHIF compliance. Our pricing is guided by the Advocates (Remuneration) Order, ensuring fairness and professionalism.

Step-by-Step Registration & Associated Statutory Costs

The company registration process has both statutory (government) costs and professional fees. It is vital to distinguish between them. The government fees are fixed and paid directly through the eCitizen portal. These include:
1. Name Reservation: A fee of approximately KES 150 per name search.
2. Company Registration Fee: This is calculated based on the company's nominal share capital. For a standard private company with a nominal capital of KES 100,000, the statutory registration fee is KES 10,650. This covers stamp duty and filing fees.
Our professional legal advisory fee is separate from these statutory costs. We handle the payment of these disbursements on your behalf, providing you with official receipts for complete transparency. Our process ensures every step is compliant with the Companies Act, 2015.

Any potential additional costs, like for a complex shareholders' agreement, are discussed and agreed upon in advance.
Is it cheaper to register a company myself on eCitizen?
