Start your Business Guide

Heading Title

The complete step-by-step system for starting a business in Kenya — the right way. 10 doodle videos, 15 editable business templates, and a plain-English guide covering everything from eCitizen registration to going digital. Built specifically for the Kenyan market. No jargon. No guesswork.

Starting a business in Kenya doesn’t have to be this hard.
You’ve searched online. You’ve asked friends. You’ve found information that’s either too complicated, too generic, or simply not relevant to Kenya.
The Kenya Startup Business Kit was built to fix that.
This is the complete digital product suite for aspiring Kenyan entrepreneurs — covering every step of the startup journey in plain English, with real Kenyan examples, real fees, and real steps you can take this week.

What’s Inside

10 Doodle Animation Videos — 80+ Minutes of Visual Learning

Every module of the Kenya Startup Kit comes to life as a clear, engaging doodle animation video. Watch the process unfold on screen — step by step, scene by scene — in warm, conversational Kenyan English.

The videos include live walkthroughs of:

eCitizen and the Business Registration Service — every screen, every click, every field

KRA iTax — how to register, how to file your monthly Turnover Tax return in 15 minutes
