SMEs To Have Own Business Registration Procedure

The government will soon formalize a different process of registering small businesses and move away from the conventional system of company registration.

The move is aimed at alleviating the challenges faced by Small, Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in terms of time and money they consume when they seek for registration of their business.Industry and Trade Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya said.

Before automation of processes, registering a company in Kenya would be described as a lengthy, costly and tedious process.

CS Munya, says a new method of registering Small, Medium-Sized Enterprises, that will be easy and fast is in the pipeline.

He says the government is keen in addressing the issue of credit access for SMEs who employ a great percentage of Kenyans especially those who graduate from tertiary institutions.
