Find out how we can support your investment journey

Start your investment journey by registering your company in Kenya and obtaining all required business and personal IDs. Through the Kenya Investment Single Window (KISW), Invest Kenya supports you in this registration.

After registering your company, the next step is to secure all required permits and approvals from the relevant regulatory agencies and county authorities. The permits you need will depend on your company’s sector and project profile, ensuring that you meet all compliance standards before operations begin.

In addition to obtaining your licenses and permits, it is also critical to start activating your operations. You will coordinate with the relevant utility and service providers to set up essential infrastructure for your project.

If you or your employees require permission to work in Kenya, you will need to apply for the appropriate work permits through the Directorate of Immigration Services. This ensures full compliance with Kenyan labor and immigration regulations before starting operations. Through the Kenya Investment Single Window (KISW), Invest Kenya can support you with this application.
