Our services cover the entire lifecycle—from incorporation and registration to ongoing statutory compliance and post-incorporation support.

Our incorporation services include:
Name Reservation
This is the first step, where we confirm that your business name is legally available and that no other entity exists with the same name.
Document Preparation
We professionally draft and file all the required documents to incorporate your business with the relevant Registrars.
Registration
We submit all necessary forms and documentation to ensure your entity is legally registered.

To help businesses meet local regulatory requirements while maintaining strategic flexibility, Citiscore offers Nominee and Alternate Director Services.
These services are particularly valuable for foreign companies looking to establish a local presence and adhere to corporate governance requirements.
c) Registered Office Services
We provide comprehensive Registered Office Services designed to ensure your business remains compliant with legal and regulatory requirements while maintaining privacy and professionalism. Our services include:
Formal Address
We provide a secure, professional address for your business, which serves as the official point of contact for government agencies and regulatory bodies.

Employee Registration
We help you register your business with mandatory employee programs, such as the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and the Social Health Assistance (SHA) program, ensuring compliance with labor and health laws.
Registration of intellectual property rights
We support the registration and protection of your intellectual property, including trademarks, copyrights, patents, and designs, safeguarding your brand, innovations, and creative assets from infringement and ensuring your legal ownership is secured.
e) Foreign Company Support
We offer specialised services to assist foreign companies in registering their branches or subsidiaries in Kenya. Our team guides you through every step of the process, ensuring that your business complies with all applicable local laws and regulations.
Branch Registration
A branch is an extension of your foreign company, and we assist with registering it with the Registrar of Companies in Kenya, ensuring it is recognised as a legal entity for conducting business in the country.
Subsidiary Registration
A subsidiary is a separate legal entity, and we help you set it up in Kenya while ensuring compliance with Kenyan company law. We guide you through the process of registering your subsidiary, drafting necessary documents, and meeting legal requirements for foreign entities operating in Kenya.
