The Legal Framework for Online Company Registration
The framework for online limited company registration in Kenya is primarily governed by the Companies Act, 2015, and administered by the Registrar of Companies. The government's digital portal, eCitizen, is the primary platform for these registrations, significantly streamlining the process. To complete an online registration, key requirements include a reserved company name, details of at least one director and one shareholder, their identification documents (National ID, Passport, KRA PIN), and residential addresses. The Memorandum and Articles of Association must also be prepared, often requiring legal expertise to ensure they are compliant and reflective of the company's intended operations. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates navigates these requirements with precision, ensuring all submissions meet statutory standards.
