Company registration is also known as the incorporation of a company or the company formation. The rules, regulations and procedures to be followed for company registration, vary from country to country, but there are many things common in the majority of countries all across the world.
The most common things regarding company registration are that a company is considered as being a separate legal entity, different from the legal rights of its members, owners, shareholders, or directors; there are varying company registration processes and services for different types of companies and these diverse forms of companies also facilitate the foreign investors for doing business in any country through making FDI in that country in any desired economic sectors.

Adhiambo Okech & Associates Advocates LLP has been providing company registration law services for setting up all various types of companies in Kenya. These companies compulsorily include the forms of Private Limited Companies (LTDs), Public Limited Companies (PLCs), Limited Liability Companies (Known as LLPs in Kenya), Partnership Firms, Non-Profit Companies (Companies Limited by Guarantee), Charitable Organizations (e.g. NGOs & Trusts) Joint Venture Companies, Export Processing Zone (EPZ) Companies and Branch Offices (BOs). A Limited Company can be a ‘Private’ or ‘Public’ Company. The private limited company has a lesser number of compliances to be fulfilled and lighter disclosure to be made to the public. But, the shares of a private limited company cannot be offered to the general public and hence cannot be traded on stock exchanges, as the public limited companies do. The ownership or operation of the private limited company is privately and closely held by its limited number of members, owners and shareholders. The majority of small companies are private.
