Hi Harry

Thanks for the heads up, I have completed the name search and I guess its now to register it but 5 Weeks being moved from office to office requires alot of patience

I will give them the benefit of doubt and go ahead and register online hopefully I will have a very different experience and save some money.

Regards
Henry

Hi Henry,

To register a business name using eCitizen, you have to go through two processes.

1. Reserve the name (costs Sh.150). If successfully reserved you will get the status showing Reserved and if not, it will tell you that it has been Rejected.

2. Using the code for the name reservation, register the business name (costs about Sh.850). You will need to provide supporting documentation to complete this stage.

A word of caution. Do not try to use eCitizen to register a company. It's been five weeks since I made that mistake and after being thrown about from office to office, I fear I will have to do the whole process again offline and pay again.

Regards,

Hello all,

Just need some clarification from anyody who has used eCitizen.go.ke  recently or in the past to register a business name. The portal only has FAQs for EVISA and not EBUSINESS (s.

My current dilemma is after applying for a business name search the application status is showing 'Reserved' but it is not clear what 'Reserved' means.
Does it mean that the name has already been registered or it has been reserved so that I can register it. (Maybe they relook using the word reserved and replace it with AVAILABLE or NOT AVAILABLE)

Anybody on this forum who can assist with my dilemma?

Warm Regards
