Registered Office Services & Nominee Services

In Kenya, as in many other countries, having a registered address with the Registrar of Companies is a fundamental requirement for businesses. The registered address serves as the official address of the company for legal and administrative purposes.

For businesses that are overseas or those that work remotely. We can customize the available options to suit your specific needs and assist businesses that do not require a physical office. Here are the roles and benefits of having a registered address with the Registrars of Companies in Kenya:

1. Legal requirement: It is a legal requirement for all registered businesses in Kenya to have a registered address. This address is used for communication with government authorities.
2. Office Communication: The registered address is the primary point of contact for all official correspondence, including legal notices, tax-related documents, and communication from regulatory authorities.
3. Effective Record-keeping: The Registrar of Companies maintains a record of all businesses and their registered addresses. This makes it easier for authorities and stakeholders to access accurate information about a company’s location and contact details.

Having a registered address while registering an organization can be a challenge. We assist organizations on this barrier by offering an official registered address to remain in compliance.

Nominee services refer to a legal arrangement where an individual or entity, known as a nominee, is appointed to hold certain positions or assets on behalf of another party, typically for privacy, confidentiality, or regulatory compliance reasons. One common use of nominee services is in the context of company ownership. In such cases, a nominee director or shareholder is appointed to officially represent the business, while the true owner remains confidential. This can be beneficial for investors or entrepreneurs who wish to maintain anonymity. Additionally, nominee services can help businesses navigate complex regulatory requirements by ensuring that they have a local representative who meets the necessary criteria to comply with local laws.

Nominee services are also employed in trust arrangements, where a nominee trustee holds and manages assets or funds on behalf of a beneficiary. This can be particularly useful for estate planning, wealth preservation, or protecting assets from potential creditors.

However, it’s important to note that while nominee services offer benefits related to privacy and compliance, they must be structured and executed carefully to ensure they comply with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements. Proper documentation and transparency are essential to maintaining the integrity of such arrangements and avoiding any potential legal issues.
