Kenya Yearbook and BRS Explore Partnership to Promote Business Registration Services
Kenya Yearbook and Business Registration Service Partner to Boost Awareness of Business Services
The Kenya Yearbook Editorial Board (KYEB) and the Business Registration Service (BRS) are exploring partnership opportunities aimed at improving public awareness of business registration and enhancing access to government services. This collaboration seeks to ensure that more citizens, particularly micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), are informed about the benefits and processes of formalizing their businesses.
KYEB CEO Lilian Kimeto emphasized that the partnership would focus on leveraging the editorial and production services of KYEB to effectively disseminate information regarding the various business services offered by the government. “We want to build a long-term engagement with BRS to serve the public better,” said Kimeto.
BRS, a state corporation responsible for registering companies, partnerships, and firms, also expressed its eagerness to work with KYEB. Doris Wambugu, the Director of Legal Affairs at BRS, highlighted the importance of raising awareness among MSMEs to formalize their operations. “One area we can collaborate is in enhancing awareness of business services, so we can further formalize the sector,” she said.
BRS, established under the BRS Act of 2015, administers policies related to business registrations, bankruptcy, hire purchase, and security rights, while KYEB documents government initiatives and projects to promote socioeconomic progress.
This partnership aims to increase public knowledge on the registration process, improve access to critical business services, and contribute to the formalization of Kenya’s business sector. It is seen as a vital step in enhancing the country’s business environment and driving inclusive economic growth.
