How a company registration and compliance advocate can help
Company setup involves decisions about the business structure, ownership, management, and records that will be needed after registration. An advocate can help founders identify the issues to settle before filing and review whether the proposed arrangements reflect their intentions.
Prepare your proposed business names, a short description of the activities, details of the intended owners and directors, proposed ownership shares, and any agreement already discussed between the founders. The advocate can then confirm the current documents, official process, and separate filing costs that may apply.
Frequently asked questions
When is a company registration lawyer useful?
Legal advice can be especially useful where a company has several founders, negotiated ownership shares, foreign participants, regulated activities, or agreements that need to match the registration details.
What should I prepare for a company setup consultation?
Prepare the proposed names, business activities, intended ownership and management structure, identification and contact details for the participants, relevant addresses, and any draft founder or shareholder agreement. The advocate will confirm the current official requirements.
Can the company be registered during one consultation?
The consultation can clarify the structure, required information, likely process, and next steps. Document preparation, official filing, government charges, or continuing company-secretarial work require a separate instruction and fee agreement.
Is Lex the official company registry?
No. Lex is an independent platform for finding Kenyan advocates. Any company filing must use the applicable official registration channel, either directly or through a professional you instruct.
