Frequently Asked Questions
Before you engage.
Is company registration enough to start trading?
No. After incorporation, businesses typically still need tax setup, county permits, sector licences, employer registrations, bank account setup, and compliance systems before they can trade compliantly.
Can foreign investors register companies in Kenya?
Yes. Foreign investors can register businesses in Kenya, though some sectors carry additional licensing, ownership, immigration, or regulatory requirements. We map all of these during the engagement.
How long does this take?
A Core engagement typically runs two to four weeks, depending on business complexity and how quickly registration and permit information can be gathered.
Prices are starting points. Final fees and timelines depend on the agreed scope, number of jurisdictions, number of processes or workstreams, and the level of implementation support required.
