Set up your Kenyan business before you land.
Company registered, KRA PIN sorted, bank account opened, office address secured — all handled remotely while you're still in the diaspora.
Why most diaspora setups stall,
you're in the right place.
- Registration documents bounce back from BRS for small formatting errors.
- You can't open a business bank account without a local director showing up in person.
- KRA, NSSF, NHIF, NEMA — each agency speaks a different language. Nobody tells you the order.
- WhatsApp groups send you conflicting advice from people who set up 5 years ago.
