We also offer executive search and work permit services.

With our Company Registration services, the timeline depends on the entity type (Subsidiary vs. Branch). Typically, basic BRS incorporation takes a few weeks, but full operational readiness (including KRA PIN, bank accounts, NSSF, and SHIF) requires a coordinated effort which our team fast-tracks seamlessly.

Two Max Group manages all four on your behalf with 100% accuracy.
