QUESTIONS · BEFORE YOU SIGN
The ones that actually shape the quote — turnaround, KRA cascades, beneficial ownership, the foreign-shareholder ask. Click to open; we file once you sign.
It depends on the scenario. Name change is the fastest at 5–10 working days from name approval. Director changes and share transfers run 1–2 weeks from signed-docs receipt. Capital changes take 3–4 weeks. MOA/AOA amendments need a month from receipt of the signed approved AOA. Dissolution is the long end — 3–4 months from the Kenya Gazette notice if no objection.
A special resolution — passed by 75% of shareholders — is required when the company changes something foundational. Name changes, MOA/AOA amendments, capital restructuring, and voluntary striking-off all need one. Routine director changes don't. We draft the resolution to the change you want, circulate it for signatures, and file it with BRS as part of the scope.
Three cascade to KRA: name changes (the PIN record updates to the new name), dissolution (being in good standing with KRA is a precondition of the strike-off), and director changes (KRA needs the business entity associated with the correct director on record). Constitutional amendments stay with BRS unless the change touches your tax obligations — such as applying for tax exemption.
Yes — once the company is struck off, KRA must be informed so the PIN can be closed. We submit the PIN termination application via iTax to commence the closure. This step carries an additional KSh 15,000 fee on top of the dissolution scope.
Yes — when the change shifts who ultimately owns or controls the company. Any update to your beneficial owners must be filed on the BRS Beneficial Ownership e-Register within 30 days. A share transfer to a new owner above the disclosure threshold triggers it; a director swap that doesn't shift ownership usually doesn't. We file the BO update with the change.
