Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a company registration consultant and an advocate?
While consultants can assist with the administrative aspects of registration, advocates, such as Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates, provide legal expertise. This includes offering legal advice, drafting legally binding documents, and representing your interests, ensuring not just procedural compliance but also legal soundness and strategic advantage.
Can a company registered in Kenya operate outside Kenya?
Yes, a company registered in Kenya can conduct business internationally. However, it may need to comply with the foreign investment laws and registration requirements of the countries where it intends to operate. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates can advise on cross-border legal considerations.
How do I choose the right legal structure for my company in Kenya?
The choice of legal structure—such as a sole proprietorship, partnership, or limited company—depends on factors like liability, funding needs, and tax implications. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates offers tailored advice to help you select the most suitable structure for your business goals in Kenya.
