The challenge
Registering a company in Kenya is not difficult. Registering it correctly is.
The share structure gets set without thought and becomes expensive to change. The objects do not cover what the business actually does. Nobody keeps the statutory registers. The KRA PIN arrives and no returns are ever filed against it, so a dormant company quietly accrues penalties. Then, two years in, a bank or a landlord or a tender asks for a CR12 — and the paperwork does not exist.
What we handle
Registered, compliant and keeping books from week one.
Incorporation
The full filing, with a share structure and objects that suit where the business is going.
KRA PIN and tax registration
With the right obligations registered — and not the ones that do not apply.
Statutory records
Registers, minute book, and the documents you will be asked for later.
Then keep you compliant
Books, a compliance calendar, and someone whose job it is to file the returns.
What you get
The difference it makes

What founders ask us about registration
If your question is not here, message us. We answer questions without opening a file on you.
How long does company registration take?
Name reservation is usually quick. The rest depends on the Business Registration Service and on how complete your documents are when they go in. Incomplete submissions are the single biggest cause of delay, which is why we check before filing rather than after.
What does it cost?
Government fees plus our fee. We quote the two separately so you can see exactly which is which, rather than being given one number that hides the split.
Can a foreigner register a company in Kenya?
Yes, with additional requirements around directors, documentation and, in some sectors, ownership. Tell us the structure you are planning and we will tell you what applies before you commit to it.
Why use an accounting firm rather than a filing agent?
Because registration is the easy part. An agent files and leaves. We file, then open your books, register the right tax obligations and put you on a compliance calendar, so the company does not quietly accrue penalties against a PIN nobody is filing against.
