Business registration cost estimator
Pick a business structure and see the official government registration fee, before you commit to a choice you don't fully understand.
This is the government filing fee only, paid on the eCitizen platform. Real total cost usually also includes: a name search/ reservation, a KRA PIN (free), a county Single Business Permit (varies by county, commonly KES 5,000-15,000+/year), and, for a limited company, is often done through an agent who may charge a professional fee on top of the government fee. eCitizen also charges a separate transaction/convenience fee at checkout, currently in flux after a 2025 court ruling, confirm that exact figure on your live eCitizen invoice rather than assuming a fixed amount.
