Investing in Your Business Foundation: Incorporation Fees in Kenya

Determining the precise fees for company incorporation in Kenya with an advocate is crucial for budgeting and securing expert legal assistance. The total cost encompasses statutory charges levied by the Registrar of Companies (ROC) and professional fees for legal services rendered. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates provides transparent breakdowns of these costs, ensuring clarity and value for clients establishing their businesses in Nairobi and across Kenya. Our commitment is to make the incorporation process as straightforward and cost-effective as possible, underpinned by our unwavering integrity.

Statutory Fees for Company Registration with the Registrar of Companies

The Kenyan Registrar of Companies, operating under the Business Registration Service (BRS), levies statutory fees that are a fundamental component of company incorporation costs. These fees are primarily determined by the company's authorized share capital. For instance, the registration fee for a company with a share capital of KES 100,000 is approximately KES 10,000. Larger share capital will incur higher statutory registration fees. Additionally, there are nominal fees for name reservation, which currently stands at KES 150. These are government charges and are non-negotiable. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates manages the payment of these statutory fees on behalf of our clients in Nairobi, ensuring accurate and timely remittance to the BRS, thereby simplifying the process and adhering to all regulatory requirements of the Companies Act, 2015.
