Your Guide to Seamless Documentation

Submitting the correct private limited company registration documents in Kenya is a critical step towards establishing your business. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates specializes in ensuring that all necessary paperwork is meticulously prepared and correctly submitted to the Business Registration Service (BRS), often referred to as the Registrar of Companies. We understand the nuances of the Companies Act, 2015, and guarantee a hassle-free submission process, from our Nairobi CBD offices, helping you avoid common pitfalls.

Essential Documents for Company Registration

The core documents required for private limited company registration in Kenya include the application for reservation of name (Form CR 1), which must be approved by the Registrar of Companies. Following this, you will need to prepare the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, which outline the company's objectives, internal regulations, and governance. A crucial document is the Statement of Nominal Capital and particulars of the first directors and secretary (Form CR 2 and CR 3). Additionally, directors and secretaries must provide copies of their identification documents (National ID or Passport), KRA PIN certificates, and proof of address. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates ensures each document adheres to the statutory requirements set by the BRS.
