Company Incorporation & Business Set-Up
Guidance on business registration, tax registration and regulatory requirements for anyone establishing or expanding in Kenya.
Ravach Consulting
Establishing your business. Building on the right foundation.
Starting a business involves more than registering a company. It requires consideration of the appropriate business structure, tax implications, regulatory requirements and ongoing compliance obligations.
Ravach supports entrepreneurs, investors, local businesses and international organisations seeking to establish or expand their presence in Kenya. We help clients navigate the business set-up process and understand the requirements associated with establishing and operating a business.
Who this is for
- Local entrepreneurs and start-ups
- Foreign investors and international organisations
- Businesses expanding into Kenya

Company Incorporation & Set-Up: common questions
Can’t find what you need? Our advisors are a call or an email away.
Can you help a foreign company set up in Kenya?
Yes. We assist foreign businesses seeking to establish a presence in Kenya — from choosing an appropriate structure to registration support, tax registrations and the compliance obligations that follow.
Do you only handle the registration?
No. We look beyond registration to the tax implications of your structure, the permits and licences your sector needs, and the obligations that start once you begin trading.
What do I need to get started?
A short conversation about your plans: what the business will do, who will own it, how it will be financed and where it will operate. We will then outline the steps, timelines and requirements.
