If you are thinking of starting a business in Kenya, then it is imperative you familiarize yourself with all the legal requirements you are expected to satisfy.
The first thing you must do is to go online to the Nairobi City Council Website and find out the kind of permits required to run your business legally. Another thing you might consider is going to your local City Council offices and talk to the officers. Ask them to explain the necessary documents you require and how to go about getting them. It’s very important that you speak to the local city council before going ahead with registration.
Another website you should visit for research is the KRA Website. It will give you details on how V.A.T. taxes are charged and should be paid. You should also get advice from a lawyer about tax requirements if you are registering a company.
In this article, I will share with you 4 legal requirements you require to start a business in Kenya. As always, ensure that you conduct further research about the particular industry you are planning to join before setting up the business.
