This really saved me a lot, thank u. Someone was about to charge me 20000/= which I was about to pay, to open my company and I ended up doing it alone for 10k...
I was literally stuck, i did not know how many shares to alort and why, this video answered all my questions. Thank you for posting and helping some of us who would have blundered. There is no othere clear and concise guide as this anywhere else as far as registereing in e-citizen is concerned.
Thank you so much for the invaluable insight. Am now wondering why the cyber guys exploit people that much! Knowledge is power indeed! Have been thinking that maybe there are some extra fees they pay to the gvt!! Kumbe it's only 10k!! I pray that you have as many subscribers as possible to promote this kind gesture.

Yes it is possible. 3. Who are company beneficiaries? Any shareholder who owns more than 10% share capital 4. Do you do registration yourself?

Thanks a lot, I have been looking for this for quite some time now. Nashukuru!... Some questions: do you mind sharing what one (as the company owner) needs to prepare themselves with after company registration primarily legal things that could get one penalized e.g. when is auditing done and at which frequency (monthly, quarterly, yearly)? Is it compulsory? Under what circumstances does one need to audit - when the business makes profits or even during losses? Who does the auditing? If possible all matters pertaining to auditing. You could consider doing a video on auditing... Thanks.
hello, please be more discreet with your personal info eg id no, full name, and password. If possible, edit the video to blur those details. Great video
Hi sir, thanks for this very educative video. One question, what is the reason that the details of a director shareholder does not auto-populate after keying in the ID number and first name?
If he or she doesn't have a KRA pin, they will say can't look up the id. If maybe the initial id used to register on w citizen was changed and names interchanged, it will give an error. If otherwise, a system error could be the case.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful and informative. I have a question - When registering for a company whose director is foreigner. Is it different ? Thanks very much

Hi. I have few questions: 1. The BRS site has been updated and I don’t see the section to do registration for a company. Should I use the old system? 2. When registering a company, do I have to have a physical location for it? Will there be any inspections done? 3. Do I need to register for the county permit if I don’t have a physical location? 4. What us the maximum nominal share capital?
@@Varl_marg 1. Use option 10 in the new website to navigate 2. Not a must to have a physical location. No inspections done. But in registration, you must put something. 3. No inspection 4. Above 5 million you must have a company secretary
