Deconstructing the Companies Act, 2015: Key Compliance Areas

The Companies Act, 2015, is the cornerstone of business registration in Kenya, and a detailed legal review ensures adherence to its numerous provisions. This includes scrutinizing the Memorandum and Articles of Association (MEMARTs) for clarity on company objectives, share structure, director powers, and shareholder rights. We verify that the chosen company name is not misleading or identical to an existing one, and that the registered office address in Nairobi (or elsewhere in Kenya) is correctly stated. Furthermore, our review confirms compliance with requirements regarding directors' particulars, the company secretary, and the initial share allotment, all vital for lawful incorporation under the watchful eye of the Registrar General.
