‘No more briefcase firms’ as BRS moves to clean up register

NAIROBI, Kenya, July 24 – Individuals and entities with incomplete business registration applications are facing removal from the Business Registration Service (BRS) platform if they fail to regularise themselves.

It targets those with draft applications that were never submitted between 2017 and 2024, as well as those that were flagged for correction between 2017 and 2021.

According to BRS, the exercise aims to improve operational efficiency at the Companies Registry, ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act and freeing up system resources for new applicants.

“To maintain compliance and ensure your business records remain active in the Companies Registry, entities with pending Link Business applications are required to regularise their applications by August 14, 2025,” BRS Director-General Kenneth Gathuma said.

“Failure to do so will result in the application being archived and rendered inaccessible for further processing.”

BRS is a state corporation established under the Business Registration Service Act, 2015, with a mandate to administer the Companies Act and the Limited Liability Partnerships Act, among other laws.
