Registrar of Companies

General
1

Had applied for a CR12 form about 4 weeks ago through a friend of mine who paid the fee and brought me the receipt. Today I went to collect it lakini ile ofisi bana they really need to get with the times!!! People sit on wooden BENCHES and move in turn mpaka wafikiwe, then the attendant goes through some files only for her to tell me, bado haijatoka!!! Can’t they invest in technology like the system they now have in banks where you get a print out and not have to queue on wooden benches, and they should get better seats and air con system.
Secondly, what’s so damn difficult about having those CR12 and other forms in soft copy that they can just email them out, will be much much easier and faster to search for them and email to whoever needs that info and saving on paper. The registrar needs to embrace technology and some sense of service to the people.

#JustAsking a blond question!!!

If I register a Business Name, can someone else somewhere register the same exact name as a company name??

Ever heard of huduma centres.

11

the reason you pay for a search before your co. is registered is to ensure the name is not taken.

Not sure, but I am sure if they put the registration system online, should be able to find out in a second if the name is taken not having to wait for sijui how many days

15

Thought it was just incorporation certs that can be picked from there? They haven’t written anything about Huduma on the CR12 counter

The registration of businesses in Kenya has been made easier and faster. For one, a name search will be instant. Also, the registration of companies can also now be easily done by individuals. Previously individuals needed to go through lawyers to register a company which is now not necessary. However in the event that you need any help in registering your business, check out BrianTony International Consultants. They will be happy to assist at a reasonable price.

Also, registration of businesses is now being done at the GPO and City Square Huduma Centres. Below is the new registration process for companies, sole proprietorships and partnerships.

@spear I am talking about a CR12 form, not registration. It contains the list of directors of a registered co and I think you can only get that at the registrar, pay 600 and present the receipt to the counter where it seems to take forever. They present it manually since they flip through files to search for it

Use the agents there. Stop being mean. Pay 2 or 3k and obtain it in two days. Inbox if you need such help.
