Business Establishment

Starting a new organisation — whether it’s a company, hospital, civil society, or non-profit — involves more than a good idea. It requires careful planning, correct legal structures, and timely compliance with multiple regulatory requirements so that your entity can operate lawfully and with credibility.

We provide comprehensive establishment services that guide you from concept to registration and beyond. Whether you’re setting up a commercial business, a health facility, a civil society group, or a non-governmental organisation, we help you navigate each stage of the process efficiently and with clarity.

What Our Business & Organisation Establishment Services Include

• Entity Name Reservation & Registration — We assist with reserving and registering your organisation’s name with the relevant registry (e.g., Business Registration Service for companies and other entities).

• Company and Business Structure Setup — We help you choose and register the right legal structure (private company, partnership, sole proprietorship, etc.) and prepare all statutory documentation.

• NGO / PBO Registration Support — For non-profits and civil society organisations, we guide you through statutory registration requirements, including submitting required governance documents and meeting eligibility conditions under the NGO Coordination Act or Public Benefit Organisations framework.

• Licences & Permits — We identify and assist with procurement of necessary licences and permits based on your sector — including business permits, health-sector approvals, environmental clearances, and other regulatory licences.

• Tax & Statutory Registrations — We support setup of Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) PINs, tax registration, and other statutory obligations required for compliance.

• Post-Registration Compliance — After formal establishment, we help set up processes for ongoing obligations such as statutory filings, annual returns, and reporting requirements so you remain in good standing.

We begin with an assessment of your goals and the nature of your planned activities to determine the most appropriate legal and regulatory path. Our team prepares required documentation, liaises with authorities on your behalf where appropriate, and ensures that registrations and approvals are completed accurately and efficiently. Professional support greatly reduces delays that typically arise from incomplete forms or documentation errors.

Proper establishment provides legal standing, helps build trust with stakeholders, and ensures that your organisation meets all statutory and regulatory requirements from the outset. For NGOs and civil societies, compliance with the NGO Coordination Board or Public Benefit Organisations Authority is essential to operate without the risk of penalties or forced closure.
