The Kenyan government has launched an e-government service and now more than ever it is possible to complete the company registration process through the ecitizen platform.
Business Name Registration
A business name is a name your business is known by. The Business Name is the simplest business form under which one can operate a business. It might be your own personal name or something entirely different and unique to your business.
Private Limited Company
A limited liability company is a type of company formation that allows an entrepreneur to keep their own assets and finances separate from the business. This means that the people who have invested in the business (the shareholders) are only liable for the debts of the business up to the amount they have invested and no more. Therefore, it is a good way for a business to get investments without risking personal property. Companies can be limited by shares or guarantees.
Public Limited Company
in the new act 2015, section 10 defines a public limited company as a company whose articles of association allow its members to transfer their shares in the company. Also, whose articles of association do not prohibit inviting the public to subscribe for company shares or obligations
Company Limited by Guarantee
A company limited by guarantee is a different legal entity from its owner and is responsible for its own debts. The personal finances of the guarantor of the company are protected. They will only be responsible for the payment of the debts of the company that do not exceed the amount of their guarantee
Limited Liability Partnership
LLP is a legal entity independent of its partners. In this sense, it is similar to a business, different from a typical society; LLP partners are not responsible for the debts and obligations of the company, nor are they responsible for the debts and obligations of others.
Foreign Company
A foreign company is a company that is registered outside of Kenya and conducts business in Kenya following the laws of that country and according to Kenya’s laws. Companies registered outside of Kenya can conduct business in Kenya through registered branches.
The company registration process is done on e-citizen
