Check your beneficial owners
This is for a company that has been asked who ultimately owns it — usually by a bank opening an account, or by a counterparty running its own checks. It is built for a Delaware or UK company with a Kenyan branch or subsidiary, a Kenyan company with a Delaware or UK one, and a single Delaware or UK company on its own.
Tell us the shape of your group and who holds the shares, and the same engine we run for our clients will work out who is on the register, at what percentage, and why.
What this answer is, and what it is not
The answer on this page is an illustration. It is worked out from what you type and nothing is checked or kept.
The paid report is your company's own declaration, prepared here and attested by you — the document you hand to a bank when it asks the company to say who owns it.
If your bank wants evidence from a registry rather than from you, that means the acknowledgement from Kenya's Business Registration Service or from Companies House. Those come from a filing, which is a service we manage for you.
1. Which of these is your group?
Parent in Delaware or the UK with a Kenyan presence
We act for foreign companies' Kenyan branches and subsidiaries. A domestic Kenyan company needs a licensed Certified Secretary, which we are not.
Parent in Kenya with a presence abroad
We act for foreign companies' Kenyan branches and subsidiaries. A domestic Kenyan company needs a licensed Certified Secretary, which we are not — so what is worked out below is the Delaware or UK company, not the Kenyan one.
Single company
2. What are the companies called?
3. Who holds the shares in the Delaware corporation?
List the people, not the companies. If somebody holds their stake through a holding company, say so on their row and we will follow it through to them.
