Company Registration Services in Kenya
Launch your business with proper legal formation and compliance
How We Work
Step 1: Name Reservation
We search and reserve your preferred company name through the BRS eCitizen portal, ensuring it does not conflict with existing registered names.
Step 2: Document Preparation
We draft the Memorandum and Articles of Association, prepare the statement of nominal capital, and compile all required director and shareholder particulars.
Step 3: BRS Filing & Registration
We submit the incorporation documents through the eCitizen portal, pay the prescribed fees, and follow through until the Certificate of Incorporation is issued.
Step 4: KRA Registration
We register the company with the Kenya Revenue Authority, obtain the company KRA PIN, and register for all applicable tax obligations including income tax, VAT, and PAYE.
Step 5: Post-Incorporation Compliance
We prepare the initial board resolutions, open the company register, and advise on obtaining necessary business permits, licences, and county approvals.
Company Registration Services in Kenya
Registering a company in Kenya is the first step to establishing a legitimate business presence. The process is governed by the Companies Act, 2015 and administered by the Business Registration Service (BRS) through the eCitizen portal. LHK Advocates handles the entire registration process, ensuring your company is properly formed, compliant, and ready to operate.
We register all types of business entities including private limited companies, public companies, companies limited by guarantee, limited liability partnerships, sole proprietorships, and branch offices of foreign companies. Each structure has different implications for liability, taxation, and governance, and we advise you on the best fit for your business objectives.
Beyond the initial incorporation, we ensure your company is set up for operational success. This includes obtaining a KRA PIN and tax compliance certificate, registering for VAT where applicable, obtaining county business permits, and setting up proper corporate governance structures including board resolutions and company secretarial services.
