If you’re considering starting a business with the protection of limited liability but still want the flexibility of a partnership, a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) could be the perfect option. The LLP structure in Kenya allows partners to enjoy limited liability while maintaining flexibility in managing their business. At Digitali Webbs Services, we simplify the process of registering an LLP in Kenya, ensuring a fast and smooth experience.

What is a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)?

A Limited Liability Partnership is a hybrid between a traditional partnership and a limited liability company. In an LLP, each partner’s liability is limited to the amount they have invested in the business. This type of business structure is ideal for professionals like lawyers, architects, accountants, or any business where two or more people want to work together while protecting their personal assets.

Why Choose an LLP?

• Limited Liability: Protects the personal assets of partners from business liabilities.
• Flexibility: Partners have the freedom to manage the business and its operations as they see fit.
• Tax Benefits: LLPs are taxed similarly to partnerships, avoiding the double taxation that occurs with corporations.
• Separate Legal Entity: The LLP has a separate legal identity from its partners, meaning it can own property, sue, and be sued.

Requirements for LLP Registration in Kenya

To register an LLP in Kenya, you’ll need the following:

1. Proposed Name: Provide at least two names for your business in case one is rejected.
2. Partners’ Information: A minimum of two partners is required. Each partner must provide their National ID or passport and a valid KRA PIN.
3. LLP Agreement: Although not mandatory at registration, it is recommended to have an LLP agreement that outlines the responsibilities of each partner.

Step-by-Step LLP Registration Process with Digitali Webbs Services

At Digitali Webbs Services, we provide end-to-end support for LLP registration, ensuring a hassle-free process. Here’s how we do it:

1. Business Name Search

As with any business entity, the first step in the LLP registration process is to perform a business name search. We’ll assist you in submitting the proposed names to the Business Registration Service (BRS) through the eCitizen platform. If the name is available and approved, we proceed with the registration.

2. Lodging Documents for LLP Registration

Once the name is approved, the following documents are lodged:

• LLP Form 1: This is the primary registration form, which includes details of the partners, their contributions, and the LLP’s proposed business activities.
• KRA PIN and Identification Documents: We ensure all partners submit their KRA PINs and National IDs or passports.

We’ll handle the completion and submission of these documents to the relevant authorities.

3. Payment of Registration Fees

The fee for registering an LLP in Kenya is Kshs 25,000. At Digitali Webbs Services, we make the payment process seamless, handling everything on your behalf to save you time at a fee

4. Issuance of Certificate of Incorporation

Once the registration process is complete, typically within 1 day, the Certificate of Incorporation is issued. This certificate confirms that your LLP is officially recognized by the government of Kenya as a legal entity.

5. Post-Incorporation Support

Once your LLP is registered, our support doesn’t stop there. We offer:

• KRA PIN registration for the LLP to ensure tax compliance.
• Assistance with setting up a business bank account.
