Key Components of Company Registration Legal Packages

Effective legal packages for company registration Kenya should encompass core services that facilitate a smooth incorporation. This typically includes a comprehensive business name search and reservation, preparation of the Memorandum and Articles of Association (MAA) adhering to the Companies Act, 2015, director and shareholder consent forms, and the Statement of Nominal Capital. The package should also cover the electronic filing of these documents with the Business Registration Service (BRS). Some packages may extend to include the initial application for a Tax PIN from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), and assistance with obtaining essential business permits from county governments. The clarity and completeness of these inclusions are vital when comparing options.
