Invest in one of the fastest growing economies in Africa.

Kenya’s dynamic economy and strategic location in East Africa remain a magnet for foreign investment across diverse sectors. Setting up a presence in Kenya can offer numerous advantages, including access to a growing market, a skilled workforce, and favorable government policies. For foreign companies and corporations eyeing opportunities in Kenya, understanding the available options for establishment is crucial. Here are some of the avenues for foreign entities to set up in Kenya:

1. Setting up a Branch Office
Establishing a branch office is a popular choice for foreign companies seeking to operate in Kenya without the need for a separate legal entity. A branch office operates as an extension of the parent company and conducts business under its name. While offering operational flexibility, it is worth noting that a branch office does not have its own legal personality, making the parent company liable for its debts and obligations.

2. Subsidiary Company
Forming a subsidiary company provides foreign entities with a distinct legal entity in Kenya. This option offers liability protection, as the subsidiary operates as a separate legal entity from its parent company. Setting up a subsidiary involves registering a new local company with the Kenyan authorities and obtaining the required licenses. Despite the initial setup costs, a subsidiary company offers autonomy in decision-making and mitigates risks associated with the parent company.
